Antonia’s Garden is located in Cradley Heath in the West Midlands.
Cradley Heath is a small town and ward in the Rowley Regis area of the Borough of Sandwell, West Midlands. It lies within the Black Country roughly 2 ½ miles south of Dudley and 8 miles west of central Birmingham.
Cradley Heath is one of several towns in central England still recognisable from their early 20th century appearance. Many of the shops and houses in the high street are still standing after 100 years including that in which Antonia’s Garden is situated.
Cradley Heath is served by bus and rail services. The railway is on the Birmingham to Worcester line with regular services between the two. Bus services provide connections to surrounding localities such as Birmingham, West Bromwich and the Merry Hill Shopping Centre.
Antonia’s Garden is ideally situated in the main high street of the town which is an unusually busy and vibrant town, alongside other complimentary retail businesses most of which are independents. The business is beautifully presented and maintained with clear, visible signage and distinctive and upmarket livery. There is free on street parking immediately outside the premises and further along the High Street and there is a large Tesco supermarket across the road which allows free parking for two hours. The business enjoys great footfall and passing trade.
