About

Kidderminster town sits in the Wyre Forest district on the River Stour. The town centre is organised around the High Street and market area, with an indoor market and shops and the mainline railway station close to the town centre. A heritage terminus for the Severn Valley Railway sits beside the national rail station, giving regular steam services along the valley to Bridgnorth and serving as a local rail landmark.

Industry shaped the town: Kidderminster has been associated with carpet manufacture since the 18th century, and the Museum of Carpet records that history within the town. Former mill buildings and canal-side sites remain part of the built fabric, and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal and river corridors provide walking routes and moorings through the town. Public services, the parish church of St Mary and All Saints, civic buildings and parks concentrate around the centre, making the town a local administrative and commercial focus for the surrounding Wyre Forest area.
