Redditch is a town, and local government district, approximately 15 miles (24km) south of Birmingham city centre. Located in north-east Worcestershire, England, The district had a population of 87,036 in 2021. In the 19th century, it became the international centre for the needle and fishing tackle industry. At one point, 90% of the world's needles were manufactured in the town and its neighbourhoods. In the 1960s, it became a model for modern new town planning as the town itself was set as a commuter town for the city of Birmingham.
