About

Harborne is a residential suburb located approximately four miles southwest of Birmingham city centre. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to larger detached properties and modern developments. Its high street serves as a central hub for local commerce and daily life, featuring a range of independent shops, cafes, and supermarkets that cater primarily to residents.

The ward contains several green spaces, including Harborne Park and the quieter Harborne Walkway, a linear park following a disused railway line. It is home to the University of Birmingham's sports facilities and the historic Harborne Parish Church. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the city centre, with good transport links facilitating commutes while supporting its own local community infrastructure.
