Nuneaton and Bedworth

Nuneaton and Bedworth is an administrative district in Warwickshire that combines two main towns with surrounding residential areas. The landscape features older town centers alongside newer housing developments that have grown together over the decades.

The district came together in 1974 through the merging of two separate boroughs into one administrative unit. Years later, the name was adjusted to ensure both towns received equal recognition in the area's official identity.

The museum here holds collections about the region's industrial past and how people lived through different periods of change, showing how the two towns developed together over time.

The area has direct rail links and sits close to the M6 motorway, making it simple to travel to nearby Birmingham and Coventry. Visitors can use these connections to reach the two town centers and move around the wider region easily.

The two town centers each keep their own separate character and local features despite being part of the same district. Walking between them reveals how different they feel, with each maintaining its own identity and local businesses that reflect this distinction.
