August 8th - Unusually, I was in Redditch visiting a supplier and despite the (currently rare) overcast day, I was reminded of what gorgeous, surprising corners the new town has.
Redditch gets a lot of stick - much of it deserved - for dull planning and generally being a product of postwar urban design; but where it works - Lick the respectfully preserved Church Green or the gorgeous Arrow Valley Country Park, with the time hamlet of Ipsley preserved within - it’s rather wonderful.
I actually like this place a lot. There, I said it.
