About

Longbridge North is a residential district in southwest Birmingham, centred around the former MG Rover car plant site. The area is primarily characterised by post-war housing estates, local shopping parades, and community facilities serving its inhabitants. Its layout and identity remain closely tied to the historical industrial footprint that once dominated the locale.

The ongoing regeneration of the old factory lands into a mixed-use development, including the new Bournville College campus, represents a significant physical change. This large-scale redevelopment sits alongside established neighbourhoods, creating a contrast between the area's past and its evolving future.
