This superb array of Great Western semaphore signals at the north end of Shrub Hill Station was due to be replaced as part of the Worcester area re-signalling scheme in 1990. However, they are still there and are now unlikely to be replaced before 2019. For a 2004 photo of the signals from a slightly different viewpoint, please see Image
