History & Aims of the Society
The ‘Brewood Civic Society’ was inaugurated in 1969 following the untimely demolition of a row of beautiful half timbered black and white cottages known as ‘The Pavement Cottages’, situated in ‘The Pavement’ close to its junction with Dean Street. This act of wanton destruction and vandalism caused a public outcry in the village and so the Brewood Civic Society was born and has gone from strength to strength with a membership of over 800 from a total adult voting population of approximately 4360, within Brewood Village.
The Society organizes a number of events throughout the year including illustrated talks, walks, visits to places of interest, exchange visits with other civic and amenity societies, together with the hanging baskets and floral containers competition and the ‘Frank Dearden Awards’, the latter being a competition initiated by our late President, Frank Dearden, to encourage the appreciation, awareness, involvement and participation in the village and its activities by our young people. Not long after its inception the Society was instrumental in the village being designated one of the first three ‘Conservation Areas’ in Staffordshire, a later designation being a half mile section of the beautiful and picturesque Shropshire Union Canal. The ‘Conservation Area of Brewood’ which incorporates some seventy two listed buildings, two of which are Grade I and one a Grade II*, has been reviewed and re-appraised by South Staffordshire Council and the Society has been enjoined in this important consultation process.
