More about this scene
Bromsgrove lies a few miles west of Redditch, and it is an ancient market town which has become a suburban satellite of Birmingham. This aerial shot shows the High Street; it is a wonderful illustration of a common style of urban development, with narrow medieval burgage plots running back at right angles from the road. These were infilled with houses and courts as the town grew and pressure on land increased. Development, particularly road building, has destroyed this pattern in Bromsgrove.
