To Kidderminster!


Kidderminster is a fascinating town. Like many towns, its mainline station is on the outskirts, but it’s only a short walk from here down the hill; passing the traditional Severn Valley Railway and many fine drinking establishments along the way. It has its own football team which serve very nice pies and probably the healthiest you’ll find in any football stadium. The major roundabout has a vast underpass system which has some nice gardens to peer into but each subway has its own set of uninspiring graffiti. Just past the clock tower where the buses begin to stop is the carpet museum; one of Kidderminster’s claims to fame. On the high street itself sits a statue of Sir Rowland Hill; inventor of the postage stamp and Kidderminster’s greatest hero. At the end of all the shops sits a beautiful canal and various fine establishments have since taken advantage of this feature to set up a trade.
