Broseley and surrounding area

Broseley is located north of Bridgnorth. The area is a mixture of both urban and rural. The River Severn borders the north of the area. The B4373 provides links to Bridgnorth and the A442 with links to Telford and the M54 towards the West Midlands. Broseley High Street has a range of shops and other amenities.  During its industrial past Broseley was a centre for ironmaking, pottery and clay pipes. The industrial past can now be seen at the Pipework and Jackfield Tile museums which form part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Barrow is part of the Broseley Place plan area, and one of the most important features of Barrow Parish, both for residents and for visitors, is the beautiful countryside with its network of small lanes and jitties.

Place plans were developed to include a main centre (often a market town) and its surrounding smaller towns, villages and rural hinterland. These areas are recognised in the local plan as functioning geographical areas, with strong linkages to and from the main town and the wider area.

The Broseley and Surrounding Area Place Plan covers the area identified on the map on this page. It summarises and prioritises the local infrastructure needs which are required to support the sustainable development of the area, and identifies the wider investment needs to assist delivery of the community’s vision and aspirations.
