About

Charford is a residential area on the south‑west side of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, built around a mix of post‑war and later housing. The neighbourhood centres on Charford Road and nearby streets, with a small parade of shops, a primary school, and a community hall that serve local day‑to‑day needs. A green corridor follows the course of the River Arrow as it passes close to the area, and several small parks and playing fields provide space for sport and informal walking. Regular bus links connect Charford with Bromsgrove town centre and onward to larger towns in the county.

Local life in Charford is often organised around the recreation areas and the community groups that use them. Older estate layouts give way to short terraces and semi‑detached streets, while allotments and a pavilion beside one of the playing fields are visible landmarks on weekends. The area’s pattern of streets and the way the river and recreational spaces cut through the neighbourhood make Charford recognisable within Bromsgrove’s wider suburban ring.
