Find out what’s coming up in our four-year programme of cultural activity across England's High Streets Heritage Action Zones, continuing until 2024.
Brierley Hill High Street Heritage Action Zone
Supporting the enhancement and regeneration of Brierley Hill High Street, which is designated as a Conservation Area at Risk.
The support includes delivery of a buildings repair programme; implementation of public realm enhancements with highways works to improve connectivity, integrating Midland Metro and enhancing pedestrian experience; and delivery of a Community Activity Plan and a Cultural Programme.
The area's character is mainly drawn from surviving 18th and early 19th century architecture. It has a large indoor market that dates from the 1930s and still operates as a focal point for the high street.
Brierley Hill Civic Hall, situated on Bank Street in the town centre, is well known as a music venue, helping to launch the careers of many Midland-based bands including Slade.
