Bromsgrove, in Worcestershire, had a population of around 30,000 at the 2021 census — a market town whose industrial history was built on a trade most visitors wouldn't guess.
A nail-making town
From at least the 17th century, Bromsgrove and the villages around it were a major centre of England's hand-made nail trade: a cottage industry where nailers worked small forges attached to their homes, hand-hammering out nails that were sold on to merchants and shipped across the country. It was hard, poorly paid work that employed large numbers of local families for generations, until machine-made nails eventually took over in the 19th century. That vanished trade, along with other historic buildings from across the region, is now preserved at the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings just outside the town, an open-air museum of relocated and rebuilt structures founded in 1967.
What that history doesn't leave behind
A former industrial market town has supermarkets and convenience shops, but it isn't the kind of place to support a dedicated sweet retailer with bulk bags, vegan and halal-friendly ranges, or trade cases for local businesses.
