==Kidderminster Shed under GWR==
[[File: Kiddermnster_Shed_OS.jpg |thumb|300px|right| Extract from 1951 OS Map showing Kidderminster shed]]Kidderminster was GWR shed number 125, code KDR, and was part of the Worcester division. The shed was situated on the south side of the line between [[Hoo Road Bridge]] and [[Worcester Road Bridge]] (on the left when travelling from Kidderminster towards Bewdley). It was built in 1932 to replace the original smaller GWR shed which was situated nearer the station. The extract from Ordnance Survey Map SO87, surveyed 1938 - 1949, published 1951, shows the later location.
