Redditch, is a town and local government district in north-east Worcestershire, England, approximately 15 miles (24 km) south of Birmingham. The district had a population of 84,300 in 2011. 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. It is known locally by the nickname The Ditch.
The first recorded mention of Redditch ("Red-Ditch", thought to be a reference to the red clay of the nearby River Arrow) is in 1348, the year of the outbreak of the Black Death. During the Middle Ages it became a centre of needle-making and later prominent industries were fish-hooks, fishing tackle, motorcycles and springs, the last of which was notably undertaken by Herbert Terry and Sons. Redditch was designated a new town in 1964 and the population increased dramatically from 32,000 to around 77,000. Housing developments such as Church Hill, Matchborough, Winyates, Lodge Park and Woodrow were created to accommodate a large overspill from the industrially expanding Birmingham. Redditch was built as a "flagship" town using new methods and new town planning: all the main roads (mostly new dual carriageways as well as a ring road for the town centre) were banked to reduce noise to the new housing estates, and the whole of Redditch was landscaped.

Video of this town centre - it's an unusual town in that the town centre is dominated by a huge indoor shopping centre and so what you see is "the rest".

Penny for the Guy - Big Frog Films, 2015 "On a gloomy evening, a homeless man has bedded down for the night with some help from the spirit world - spirits that come from bottles. He is approached by a lady from the council who wishes to question him about life on the streets. As trust grows, so does hostility and changes occur through this meeting. Changes so big, his life will never be the same again...." Filmed on location in Redditch, Worcestershire. Starring; Carla Buckley, Nigel Buckley, Simon Thompson.

I was robbing a store
I fell in love with a whore
We fell onto the floor
In the store I was robbing
So I put that gun to her head
She said, "Baby, let's go to bed
Son, you're gonna go blind
If you keep fucking me with your mind"

The store clerk, she wanted in
She said "Hey I am your friend"
I said, "No, no, it's gonna depend
If you give me all your money"
So I put that gun to her head
She said, "Baby, let's go to bed
Son, you're gonna go blind
If you keep fucking me with your mind"
