Property for sale in Burton on trent

Burton on Trent is a town and urban area located in the borough of Staffordshire, in the West Midlands region of England. The name originates from the Old English ‘byrh-tun’, meaning fortified farmstead, a homestead or river meadow on the River Trent. The town is situated at the narrowest point of the valley through which the river Trent flows. The town became a hub for commercial beer brewing in 1744 when the monks discovered that the local waters, when filtered through calcium-rich rocks, were capable of brewing excellent ale. After having gone through modern developments, Burton on Trent has become a thriving commercial and manufacturing centre whilst also retaining many historical features. Some of the impressive architecture comes from the Town Hall, St. Margaret's Church, St. Paul's Church, and the parish church of St. Modwen's.
