The event, being organised by Worcestershire County Council’s Archive and Archaeology service will celebrate the ‘Archives of Redditch New Town’. Redditch, now a modern, bustling new town, has a medieval backstory. The town’s name, Red-Ditch, is believed to reference the red clay of the nearby river Arrow. It was a centre for needle-making from the Middle Ages, and evolved into a hub of industrial innovation, producing everything from fishhooks to motorcycles.
