    a422 - stratford upon avon (Shakespear land.)

    Kidderminster
    History of Kidderminster

    The town is best known for its manufacture of carpets from about 1735, though much reduced recently. The carpet industry developed as a diversification within a well established cloth industry

    The earliest written form of the name Kidderminster is in Domesday Book of 1086. It was a large manor held by King William with 16 outlying settlements

    The place name indicates a much earlier existence. ‘Minster’ is a Saxon word for a monastery or large church. Scholars now believe that a charter of the year 736, whereby King Aethelbald of Mercia granted land for the creation of a monastery, referred to the Kidderminster area.

    A442 up to Bridgenorth

    Carry on up to Telford,  (Telford, named after Thomas Telford the renowned civil engineer, )then a41, and a55 home.

    Well, how would you do it.. and dont say on motorway - thats boring!
