About

Aldridge Central is a compact town centre area focused around its historic High Street. The layout retains a traditional market town character, with independent shops and local services housed in buildings of varying eras.

The area is anchored by the parish church of St. Mary the Virgin, which sits adjacent to the main shopping thoroughfare. A weekly market operates here, maintaining a longstanding community routine. The nearby Edwardian Aldridge Athletic Club grounds provide a green space for local sports within the urban framework.
