The HISTORY of REDDITCH New Town






                                                  During the 2004 expansion of the Kingfisher Centre,
                                                  Royal Square was closed and a covered market area
                                                  built to the rear of the new Debenhams.
                                                  This  was  a  disastrous  move  disliked  by  the  public
                                                  and market traders alike.







































































       In 2008, the market returned to the Market Place/Church Green East/Alcester Street area
       and although not rivaling markets in some neighbouring towns it is starting to become
       popular again. In 2016 management of the market was transferred to outside contractors.
