:''Main article: [[Kidderminster Shed]]''
Kidderminster had a small single-road locomotive shed which was situated close to the main line station, on the east side of the running lines opposite the main goods shed. The original shed, which was built by the OWW, dated from the opening of the station in 1852. It was of wooden construction and was closed at the north end. The 1885 map below suggests this it was accessed by from the south end via a turntable at that time. It was rebuilt during 1899 as a through shed, later replaced accessed by a set of points with a head shunt as shown in the 1902 and 1924 maps. <ref>[http://www.miac.org.uk/worcestersheds.html Railways in Worcestershire, Locomotive Sheds] (retrieved 11 July 2020)</ref> In February 1932 it the small shed was closed and replaced by a new larger depot built on the south side of the line between [[Hoo Road Bridge]] and [[Worcester Road Bridge]]<ref name=Lyons>[[Bibliography#Other References|Lyons (1972)]] p. 180.</ref>. The 1938 map suggests the small shed and associated point work had been removed by that time.
