Project Status
It is an ongoing project now in its third iteration of design and therefore some aspects still reflect the earlier versions.It is also far from comprehensive so there are many area of Redditch Local history which do not feature in the galleries.
We are always happy to take new input and add it to the site to fill these gaps.
Limited resources and lack of direct experience of Redditch prior to 1986 mean that there are shortfalls in the coverage which we hope that do not spoil your enjoyment of what is included.
