BROMSGROVE Located close to the junction of the M5 and M42 and only 14 miles from Birmingham with the Lickey, Clent and Waseley Hills on it’s doorstep, Bromsgrove is a thriving town with plenty to see and do. Formerly a centre for both the wool and nail making industries, it is now at the heart of a successful commercial and industrial area. As well as a bustling town centre with numerous shops and eateries, Bromsgrove boasts a rich architectural heritage which is evidenced by buildings like the Parish Church of St John, Grafton Manor and Perry Hall, former home of the famed poet A. E. Houseman, to whom a local trail and town centre statue are dedicated. The popular North Worcestershire villages of Blackwell and Barnt Green are a short drive away adding to the mix of services that may be found within the vicinity providing village shopping. Bromsgove itself is well served with a recently improved pedestrian high street, supermarkets, professional services, and a wide mix of eating establishments. Destination gastro pubs may be found on the outskirts of Bromsgrove and the town is well placed for country walks and rural recreation. If schooling is a priority, Bromsgrove caters for a range of provision to suit a child’s needs. The local primary school feeds children into the senior schools at North and South Bromsgrove. There is a choice of further primary schools in the outlying areas. The independent sector is also well served with Bromsgrove School retaining a reputation of international repute. Further afield highly regarded schools may be found in the county of Worcestershire including both The Royal Grammar School and King’s School. The King Edward Schools are within the Birmingham conurbation. Additionally, the Worcester and Birmingham canal runs close to Bromsgrove and it’s an ideal destination for numerous leisure activities. Winding through the countryside, the canal starts at the River Severn in Worcester and passes through Tardebigge locks, the longest flight of navigable locks in the country, with 30 locks climbing 217 feet (66m) before reaching Birmingham.
BIRMINGHAM Lying at the seat of England’s Industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City” is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror. Increasingly recognised as an important cultural hub with the Birmingham Royal Ballet based in the city, along with a magnificent and striking new library. Birmingham also boasts some of the best shopping in Europe with the superb Bullring Shopping Centre containing over 140 shops including a flagship Selfridges department store. The exclusive Mailbox development is host to a range of designer stores including Armani and Harvey Nichols. Alongside outstanding museums and galleries you’ll find an increasing number of gastronomic restaurants, cool and/or secret cocktail bars and picturesque canals with waterside bars, restaurants, attractions and cruises. Thriving legacies of Birmingham’s industrial heritage include its Jewellery Quarter, Cadbury manufacturing plant and a former custard factory that’s been transformed into a cutting-edge creative hub. With construction on the High Speed Rail (HS2) line – connecting London with Birmingham in just 45 minutes by 2026 – set to boost employment and the economy, ‘Brum’, as it’s dubbed by locals, is buzzing.
