About

Shard End ward is situated in the northeast of Birmingham, bordering the districts of Castle Bromwich and Kitts Green. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments. Its layout includes several local parks and green corridors, with Shard End Park and the connected Plants Brook offering recreational space. The ward is served by local shopping parades along Packington Avenue and Shard End Crescent, providing essential amenities for the community.

The area's landscape is notably shaped by the presence of the former Shard End Hall estate grounds, which now form a significant part of the local parkland. A specific local feature is the historic, brick-built Clock Tower, a remnant of the old hall, which stands as a focal point within the park. Residential streets are generally quiet, with good transport links via the A47, connecting the ward to Birmingham city centre and wider motorway networks.
