About

Biddulph Central covers the town centre of Biddulph in the Staffordshire Moorlands, with the high street, parish church and clusters of shops, cafes and small businesses that serve the surrounding villages. Public services and community facilities sit close together, and local bus routes provide connections to nearby towns. The area's street pattern reflects 19th-century growth linked to coal and pottery trades; traces of that industrial past appear in rows of former miners' housing and in place names around the centre.

Green spaces and walking routes are part of everyday life here. Biddulph Grange Country Park lies within the town and its 19th-century gardens include an Italian terrace and a Chinese garden created by James Bateman, a feature that draws visitors and local school groups. A section of the Biddulph Valley Way follows a former railway alignment through the town, offering a route for walkers and cyclists that links pockets of countryside to the centre. Local clubs, the library and village halls provide most community activities within walking distance of the high street.
