The West Midlands boasts some seriously talented exports, from movie stars and musicians to world class football players
Recently, we’ve had a look at the famous faces - actors, musicians and even politicians - who were raised in and around Birmingham. Now, we’ve decided to take a look at the famous celebrities who were born just outside Birmingham in the North Worcestershire town of Bromsgrove.
Many famous people were also born and grew up in the area which has plenty of history. The leafy countryside market town is a nice place to grow up, and it has many tourist attractions such the Avoncroft Museum, which displays historic buildings, as well as the nearby Lickey Hills, Clent Hills, and Waseley Hills country parks which also provide great walks. Bromsgrove also has some great pubs and bars to enjoy in the town centre.
Many actors, footballers, singers, famous writers and millionaire entrepreneurs all come from the town. With this in mind, we’ve taken a look at the most famous people who were born and bred in Bromsgrove.
