About

Turves Green sits on the south-west side of Birmingham and is primarily a residential area with short terraces, semi-detached homes and pockets of post-war housing. The local high street is modest, with a parade of shops, takeaway outlets and small businesses that serve nearby streets. Community facilities include a primary school, a public house and playing fields where local football matches and weekend activities take place. The area is linked by local bus routes that run toward the city and neighbouring districts, making commuting straightforward for residents.

The place-name survives in a narrow band of public open space and allotments that hint at its past. The name Turves Green refers to turf-cutting on damp ground, and that history is still legible in field shapes and drainage lines visible in older maps and some surviving green strips. Local volunteers maintain community plots and small wildlife patches, and the pattern of streets preserves a clear edge between built-up plots and the remaining public greens.
