Former Polish Ex-Servicemen's Club, Alpine House, 29a St. George's Terrace, Kidderminster, Worcs
A great many Polish servicemen served in the British armed forces in the Second World War and afterwards many of them and their families settled in the UK rather than face possible difficulties with the new Russian backed Communist regime installed in Poland. There were an appreciable number who settled in Kidderminster and nearby so this social club was created by them. Sadly it declined as the generations using it aged and recent new Polish arrivals to the UK preferred alternative entertainment. It used to serve Bank's beers and closed around 2008. The building is currently unused.

The former Royal Stores, 152 Offmore Road, Kidderminster, Worcs
Located on the corner of Offmore Road and Leswell Street, this was presumably at one time a corner shop. The name "The Royal Stores" can still be seen painted above the corner door at first floor level. For several years the premises have been used as offices by an information technology company MJS IT Services.

Baxter Terrace house, Kidderminster
The white and green house is in George Street, but there is a white on green name sign on the wall showing Baxter Terrace. There are newer houses on the left side of this house, so I wondered if the house and name are survivors of an earlier separately-named terrace on George Street, but I can find no on-line evidence for this theory.
