Redditch history is very much related to the Industrial Revolution in England. The town has had an important impact on manufacturing and its products are known throughout the world. These products include needles, fishing tackle, batteries, springs, motorbikes and other light industrial products.

The purpose of this site is to give a introduction to the various aspects of the town’s history  including a range of ‘Flash’ based presentations of different aspects of the history.

Update

I have updated the site to give a link to my history blog and I have extended the pages covering the town growth.

You will find a number of  short histories of specific Redditch history topics in Adobe Flash format. These are located on the relevant pages and are identified by the symbol to the left.

I have introduced a history blog on ‘blogger’ at :

http://redditchhistory.blogspot.com

This gives information on developments on my three history sites.....

www.redditchhistory.com - this site

www.redditchwalks.org.uk - my walks site

www.alcadhistory.org.uk - my alcad history site

I have added new pages concerning the growth of the town.  This covers population growth, physical growth and an event  timeline.

The site is also a portal to the the various sites which encompass the history of Redditch.

If you have any suggestions with regard to sites we should link to, or any other suggestions regarding the site, please feel free to contact us.
