Both the Chartist Land Company and the Freehold Land Society, which we will consider later, were successful in the town. This may be been because of the emergence of land clubs and building societies in the town at a relatively early stage.

The first recorded building society in Kidderminster is the Summer Place Land Society in 1822, which developed a group of houses at The Green, Blakebrook. Apparently, Sir Josiah Mason, who is now best remembered for the his foundation of what has become Birmingham University, was an original member of the Society. Beyond the known fact that it existed we know nothing about its operation, who it housed, what their background was. We do not know for certain that it developed the terrace of Georgian houses known as Summer Row but this is a reasonable assumption.

The Worcestershire Chronicle reported the formation of a land club for a site in South Street in October 1847 and claims that "Few towns have so largely availed themselves of the benefits of this plan as Kidderminster – Witness Sutton Common, Love Lane, York Street, Lark hill, part of Broad street and the New road, where good and healthy houses have been erected on this plan." Again little is known about the formation of these land clubs or the areas they developed. In the case of the South Street land club it may have developed part of Anchorfields – now swept away by the inner ringroad. Sutton common might have been the area to the West of Sutton Road, from Washington Street to opposite Holman Street. Love Lane (which is now known as Offmore Road) might have been one or more sites including the start of East St. There is much work still to do about these societies. However, it is always possible that very little concrete information will come to light.
