An industrial town at the
foot of the Lickey Hills, Bromsgrove’s
prosperity was originally built on the
manufacture of nails, though its Guild for
Applied Arts, established in 1894, is famous
for ironwork which includes the gates of
Buckingham Palace. Nearby, the Avoncroft
Museum of Historic Buildings is a 15-acre
open-air site with over 25 rescued and
relocated buildings, including a
fully-operational windmill, a 1940s
prefabricated house and the national
collection of telephone kiosks. The town hosts
an annual music festival and stages an
Elizabethan street market. |
