About

Crabbs Cross is a residential area in the north of Redditch, centred on a historic crossroads where older lanes met. Housing includes post‑war and later developments arranged around local streets and small terraces. The neighbourhood supports everyday needs with a parade of shops, a community hall and primary school, and a network of footpaths that link to nearby greenspace and playing fields. Street layout still reflects the old meeting point of routes, visible in how several lanes converge near the centre of the area.

Public transport provides regular bus connections into Redditch town centre and to nearby employment areas, while local roads feed onto the town’s ring routes. Community groups use the hall and playing fields for sports and events, and small retailers and takeaways serve the day‑to‑day trade. Living in Crabbs Cross means being close to the services of Redditch while occupying a part of the town whose name and street pattern preserve its origin as a lane junction.
