In the 1970’s and ‘80’s whole areas of the centre of Redditch were “re-developed” and the Kingfisher centre was built. In that re-developments, homes, factories, pubs and business were lost and these pages attempt to identify and record the people whose lives were changed forever.

In the following pages you can identify years for which census or other records exist and see who was doing what in the shops, houses and factories in the lost streets.

The collection of this data started in 2011 and in on-going and will probably never be complete.

If you have data, photographs or reminisces to add, or would like to be part of the team researching and building this site, please get in touch. Details on the Contacts page.

More streets are being researched and will be added when data is available.
