Harborne East

Harborne East sits along the eastern side of Harborne, organised around its High Street where shops, cafés and everyday services cluster. Housing is mainly Victorian terraces and interwar/semi‑detached homes laid out on a grid of residential streets. Local facilities include Harborne Library and the community leisure centre with pool and gym, and there are small parks and playing fields within short walks of most homes. Regular bus services run along the High Street into Birmingham city centre, and local lanes connect to the wider road network.

The old branch line through the area has been repurposed as the Harborne Walkway, a surfaced route used by walkers and cyclists that threads between housing plots and allotments. Community groups use church halls and school spaces for evening activities, and independent shops on the High Street remain a midday focal point for neighbours. The pattern of shopfronts, short terraces and pocket greens gives the eastern section a clear local focus while keeping most daily needs within walking distance.
