Welcome to Kidderminster
Historically, it’s best known as the centre of the British carpet industry, which developed in the 18th century and made the town internationally famous for high-quality woven carpets.
It also holds a special place in the heart of Stamp enthusiasts, being the birthplace of Rowland Hill, who devised the first postal stamp, the Penny Black.
Today, Kidderminster is a commercial and residential hub and the principal town of the Wyre Forest district, with shopping areas, parks, and nearby countryside. It retains historic buildings including the Town Hall, St Mary and All Saints Church and attractions such as the Museum of Carpet, reflecting its industrial heritage.
