Plymouth Close was originally the southern end of Plymouth Road, which first appears on the OS 1:2500 map of 1927 partly developed for houses. It was a direct route into the town centre from the Birchfield Road in Headless Cross. Plymouth Road was severed by the A448 Bromsgrove Highway through the New Town and diverted to join the Evesham Road. Plymouth Close now leads to more recent housing developments sandwiched between the Birchfield Road and the A448. A pedestrian subway connects to Plymouth Road, the rail station and the town centre.
