[[File:OS_Kidderminster_Top_Yard_1938.jpg|thumb|300px|right|OS map of Kidderminster top yard in 1938]] '''Summerfield Siding''' was added to the [[Kidderminster mainline station#Goods yard| Top Yard top yard at Kidderminster]] in 1943. It was accessed via a branch off the line leading into [[J.P.Harvey's Corn Mill| J.P.Harvey's Corn Mill Sidings]] and was surrounded by a its own security fence. The yard's coal sidings were slightly rearranged at the same time<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Turley (2005)]] p. 15.</ref>. The map extract shows the layout of the top yard in 1938 with the Station at the top and [[Kidderminster Footbridge]] ("the Wooden Bridge") at the bottom. The private sidings for J.P.Harvey's corn mill can be seen on the left, <ref group="note">The map is a composite of two OS 25in maps, both revised and published circa 1938. It is not clear if the slight discontinuity in the sidings at the boundary of the map is simply due to printing differences or if some change in the layout of Harvey's sidings had taken place around that time.</ref> with the map appearing to show that they were separated from the rest of the yard by a fence. In 1943 two additional sidings were added in the area marked "310 1.624". One was a third siding for Harveys adjacent to the two shown on the map, and the other next to it was the Summerfield Siding. No information has been found on the ownership or use of the Summerfield Siding.
