About

Ward End lies to the east of Birmingham city centre and is primarily a residential neighbourhood built around Ward End Park. The park provides open playing fields, a pond and tree-lined paths that form a local focus for walking and sports. Housing here ranges from older terraced streets to mid-20th century council developments, with small retail parades and community facilities serving everyday needs. Local schools and health services sit within short walking distance for many residents, and bus routes link the area to neighbouring wards and the city centre.

Bromford West sits immediately north-east of Ward End along Bromford Lane and the corridor of the River Tame. The river and its floodplain give the area bands of green space that separate housing pockets from light industrial sites and warehouses that line main roads. There are clear changes in street pattern where estate layouts meet older roads, and the presence of a long linear allotment strip beside the river is a regular landmark for people who move between the two areas. Community halls and social clubs provide local meeting points.
