Blakedown

Blakedown is a village in the Wyre Forest District lying along the A456 in the north of the county of Worcestershire, England. Its built-up area population was 1,447 in 2021.

Following enclosures and the arrival of the railway, it developed both agriculturally and industrially during the 19th century. Due to its transport links, it now serves mainly as a dormitory for the neighbouring town of Kidderminster and for the cities of Birmingham and Worcester.
