About

Sheldon ward lies in the eastern part of Birmingham, characterised by residential neighbourhoods and significant green spaces. The area includes Sheldon itself along with parts of Lyndon and the large Sheldon Country Park. Housing is primarily a mix of interwar and post-war semi-detached and detached homes, providing a settled suburban environment. The landscape is notably flat, typical of the region, with the River Cole meandering through the parkland.

A key feature is Birmingham Airport, which forms the ward's southern boundary and influences the local economy. The presence of the airport and the adjoining National Exhibition Centre (NEC) complex provides employment and defines the area's connectivity. Local centres along Coventry Road and Sheldon High Street offer everyday amenities, while the older church of St. Giles hints at the area's historical roots as a former village absorbed by the city's expansion.
