About

Brentwood Central is the primary commercial and civic hub of the borough, anchored by the High Street and the expansive Baytree Shopping Centre. The area features a mix of chain retailers, supermarkets, and local independent businesses, serving as the main retail destination for the wider community. Its layout is defined by major road junctions and pedestrianised zones that facilitate daily commerce and errands.

The area is distinctly residential in character away from the main thoroughfares, with streets of predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. The local library and Town Hall are key civic buildings, while the central war memorial serves as a focal point. A notable feature is the Saxon stone marking the original 'burned wood' clearing in the town, embedded near the library, connecting the modern centre to its ancient origins.
