Kidderminster Railway Museum
Although it works closely with the SVRSevern Valley Railway, Kidderminster Railway Museum is run by an independent organisation formed by a group of SVRSevern Valley Railway members in 1989. The Museum, which opened the following year, is housed in the 1878 constructed two-storey former GWRGreat Western Railway grain and wool warehouse adjoining Kidderminster station.
The museum has on display an extensive collection of smaller historical railway items such as signalling equipment. It also has a small collection of rolling stock outside in the vicinity of the relocated Wrangaton Signal Box. The upper floor of the building houses an extensive collection of railway photographs and books.
