Location - Hurcott village is a delightful rural settlement on the eastern outskirts of Kidderminster which has been created around one of the oldest sites in British paper-making history dating back to the Middle Ages. The original Mill was owned by the Earls of Dudley and paper was handmade by monks. By 1635 it was owned by a Thomas Blount and paper-making continued on the site until 1973 when it finally closed. A few years later the mill was destroyed in a fire, however from the ashes developers re-built this unique modern development centred around the old Mill Pool, with the larger Hurcott Pool (which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest) and a designated Nature Reserve with woodland walks) lying on the opposite side of Hurcott Lane.
