About

New Oscott sits in north Birmingham and is largely residential, with terraces and semi-detached houses from the 19th and 20th centuries. The area is anchored by St Mary’s College (Oscott), the Roman Catholic seminary established in the 1790s; its chapel tower and red-brick buildings occupy a parcel of elevated ground and are visible from local streets. Rows of shops and modest commercial units cluster along the main road, serving everyday needs. A post office and several takeaways sit among the shops.

Pockets of public green space and tree-lined streets break the housing, while a handful of schools and community centres provide local services. Regular bus routes run through the area, linking to the city centre and other parts of Birmingham. The seminary’s walled grounds and chapel shape the pattern of lanes and footpaths. Local clubs use community halls and nearby playing fields for amateur sport and meetings, and residents mainly rely on small independents and shopping parades rather than large retail centres.
