Pedmore is home to the Pedmore Cricket Club and is served by the nearby railway stations of
Stourbridge Junction railway station and
Hagley railway station. Pedmore is served by two
primary schools - Pedmore
Church of England School, and Ham Dingle Primary Academy. It is also served by a
secondary school -
Pedmore High School, which until July 2004 was called The Grange School. In the 1920s, Pedmore House was built on what is now the end of Ham Lane. It became a local landmark, offering restaurant facilities that later incorporated the
Tuscana Italian restaurant as well as 20-bedroom hotel. It closed in July 2006, despite being hugely popular with customers, and was demolished the following year to make way for a housing development by
David Payne homes. Manchester United and
England footballer
Ashley Young has lived in Pedmore since 2007.
Aston Villa footballer
Nigel Reo-Coker is also believed to live in the area. Playwright
Stephen Laughton grew up here. ==References==
