PERRY WOOD, WORCESTER
Metal Box opened their factory at Perry Wood in May 1931. The factory was alongside the Worcester to Oxford line about half a mile from Shrub Hill station. The factory was served by sidings on the east side of the line.

This advert for the Metal Box Company Limited appeared in a Worcester City Football Club programme in August 1971.


Richard Atkinson photographed this unidentified, possibly Cardiff based, class 08 diesel locomotive shunting the sidings at the Metal Box factory in Worcester in 1985.
