Kidderminster Junction signal box
From SVR Wiki
Although not on SVR property, the BRBritish Rail or British Railways(WR) designed Kidderminster Junction signal box controlled the main line connection to the Severn Valley Railway, its name originating from the original junction with the pre-preservation SVRSevern Valley Railway 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 GWRGreat Western Railway 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[1][2].
