King's Norton South

About

King's Norton South is a residential ward located in the southwest of Birmingham. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, including interwar semis-detached homes and more modern developments. It contains several local parks and green corridors, such as the Hazelwell Park and the River Rea corridor, which provide recreational space. The ward is served by local shopping parades on Pershore Road South and surrounding streets, catering to daily needs.

The area is anchored by the King's Norton Junction of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, a historic point where two major canals meet. This waterway network remains a feature of the local landscape.

The ward includes the historic King's Norton Parish Church, St. Nicolas, which stands at its northern boundary near the old village centre.
