The parish council describe Bridgtown as either a village or an area.[1] There is now only one church in Bridgtown, the Bethel Church. There was one on Church Street but it is now used for commercial purposes.
The Chase Line railway from RugeleytoWalsall passes the south of Bridgtown over the M6 Toll and A5, with the nearest station at Cannock. A proposal for a new station serving Bridgtown and Churchbridge was withdrawn in 2005 due to lack of funding.[2] Bridgtown is served by frequent bus services to Cannock, Birmingham, Great Wyrley and Walsall.
