PLAN OF KIDDERMINSTER 
by JOHN BROADFIELD
1859

This plan was produced at a time of great change in the carpet industry of Kidderminster. Power looms were just beginning their rise to domination over the traditional hand loom weaving.

​

The plan has been copied in overlapping sections and records many names of streets and building now consigned to history. Look for: 'The Square', 'Battery', 'The Ragged School', 'Tan Yard', Tipper's Oak', 'Old Workhouse', 'Cricket Ground' .......

​

You can view a version of the whole plan where sections photographed with a hand held camera have been joined together as best as could be done. You are welcome to download these maps for non-commercial uses.

The map is shown as two sections with the area at the bottom of the top map and that at the top of the lower map replicated to help avoid the problems of a discontinuity where the two sections are joined.
