J.P. Harvey receipt dated 1964

J.P.Harvey operated a corn mill adjacent to Kidderminster Goods Yard. A 1936 GWRGreat Western Railway Worcester Area Traffic Research Report discusses negotiations with "J. & P. Harvey" and Worcester Farmers Ltd. and mentions Harvey & Co's private siding at Kidderminster.

The map shows the corn mill and the fence separating it from the goods yard, and its position in relation to the GWRGreat Western Railway goods sheds, which now serve as Kidderminster Railway Museum and the Carriage Repair Works. No trace of the corn mill remains.

A 1964 receipt gives the address of the mill as the Railway Station, Kidderminster.

Between 1973 and 1977, an ex J.P.Harvey 'GRANO' grain hopper van was resident on the SVRSevern Valley Railway.
