Local area guide
Skip hire in Kidderminster
Kidderminster is a town in Worcestershire, sitting on the River Stour around 17 miles south-west of Birmingham, with a population of around 57,000. It appears in the Domesday Book as Chideminstre and grew as a market and cloth town, but its identity was made by carpets. Weaving began here in the early eighteenth century, and Kidderminster became the carpet capital of the world — at its peak the industry employed tens of thousands across dozens of factories, and Kidderminster carpets furnished palaces, liners and public buildings across the globe.
The Brintons, Tomkinsons and Woodward Grosvenor firms dominated the town for generations, and the Stour valley filled with the distinctive red-brick weaving sheds and chimneys of the trade. The industry has contracted enormously since the 1970s, though specialist production continues, and the Museum of Carpet in a former Stour Vale Mill tells the story with working looms. The Bull Ring and the town centre were heavily reshaped in the post-war period, and the loss of some of the Georgian fabric to road building is a long-standing local regret.
Kidderminster's most significant historical figure is Richard Baxter, the Puritan divine who served as minister here from 1641 and transformed the town through his pastoral work. His Reformed Pastor and The Saints' Everlasting Rest were among the most widely read religious books in English, and he is commemorated by a statue outside St Mary's Church. Rowland Hill, the originator of the Penny Post, was born in Kidderminster in 1795, and a statue of him stands outside the town hall.
The town is the southern terminus of the Severn Valley Railway, one of the finest preserved standard-gauge lines in Britain, running sixteen miles up the Severn valley through Bewdley and Arley to Bridgnorth. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal runs through the town, and the Wyre Forest — one of the largest ancient woodlands in England — lies immediately west.
Kidderminster sits on the A449 and A456, with Kidderminster station giving services to Birmingham in around 40 minutes and to Worcester. Housing ranges from Georgian property around Church Street and Mill Street to extensive Victorian terraces built for the carpet workforce, interwar and post-war estates, and modern development on the edges and on former factory sites. Property is more affordable than the Worcestershire average, and the town has been the focus of sustained regeneration around the canal, the station and the former industrial land.
