About

Greet and Mid Sparkhill form a residential district in south Birmingham, centred around the busy Stratford Road.

The area is primarily made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some larger semi-detached homes on quieter side streets. Several parks, including Sparkhill Park, provide green space for recreation and sports.
