About Stafford
Stafford is the county town of Staffordshire, in the West Midlands, sitting on the River Sow roughly midway between Birmingham and Stoke–on–Trent. It is an ancient market town — its name means “ford by a landing place” — with a rich history reflected in landmarks such as the timber–framed Ancient High House, the largest of its kind in England, and the remains of Stafford Castle on the hill above the town.
Today Stafford combines a compact, walkable town centre with excellent connections: it sits on the West Coast Main Line with fast trains to London Euston, Manchester and Birmingham, and close to the M6 and A34. Staffordshire University has a campus at Beaconside, and major employers in engineering and energy keep the local housing market active. That steady mix of commuters, families and students keeps demand for removals in Stafford and man–with–a–van services strong throughout the year.
