Highter's Heath & Maypole

Highter's Heath and Maypole form a primarily residential district in the south of Birmingham, characterised by interwar and post-war housing. The area is defined by its network of local shops and services along Alcester Road South, serving the immediate community. Streets are lined with semi-detached homes and bungalows, creating a settled suburban atmosphere. The layout is practical, with several schools and green spaces like Maypole Park providing focal points for local life.

A notable local feature is the Maypole public house, a historic landmark that gives the area its name and has long been a social hub. The district is bordered by the A435 Alcester Road, a major route connecting to the city centre and beyond. Transport links are provided by several bus services along this corridor. The area maintains a quiet, self-contained feel, with most amenities oriented towards day-to-day needs rather than wider city attractions.
