Although not on [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC|SVR]] property, the BR(WR) designed Kidderminster Junction signal box controlled the [[Connection to Network Rail | main line connection ]] to the Severn Valley Railway, its name originating from the original junction with the pre-preservation SVR line. It closed on the 24th August 2012 and was then demolished on the 22nd and 23rd September 2012.
The signal box was of quite a modern design, having been built in October 1953, and contained a 63 lever frame. The GWR signal box on the same site was demolished by a derailed wagon earlier in 1953, and a temporary signal box was used for a short while until the replacement was built<ref>Kidderminster Jcn Signal Box, Signalling Record Society Website. http://www.s-r-s.org.uk/html/gws/S2605.htm.
