Town is an electoral ward in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, covering the central part of Burton upon Trent. It sits on the banks of the River Trent and is crossed by the Trent and Mersey Canal, so the riverside and canal-side character is very much part of the area.
The ward is strongly associated with Burton’s brewing heritage - landmarks such as the former Bass Brewery and the National Brewery Centre speak to 19th-century industrial growth - while today the local economy mixes light industry with retail, hospitality and civic services. You’ll find Victorian architecture, a market town feel, a lively pub scene and a community that supports local events and festivals.
