About

Longbridge South occupies the southern section of Longbridge in south-west Birmingham, centred on the redeveloped site of the former Longbridge car works. The area contains a mix of housing, retail and business units laid out across the factory footprint, with street patterns that follow old industrial roads. Longbridge railway station sits on the local commuter line and provides direct services into Birmingham New Street and onward to destinations to the south, making the area a transit point for workers and shoppers.

The community grew around automotive manufacturing and the site’s history is visible in place names and reused structures tucked among newer blocks. Local planning preserved parts of the industrial layout when creating new streets, schools and small parks, so the transition from factory to neighbourhood remains legible on the ground. Local facilities include a town-centre precinct and retail park close to the station, serving residents and people travelling through this section of the city.
