About

Winson Green and Gib Heath lie just northwest of Birmingham city centre, a mix of residential streets, small shops and community facilities. Winson Green is known for HM Prison Birmingham, which sits on the edge of the neighbourhood and marks a long-standing institutional presence. Soho Road runs through the area and provides a spine of local commerce and frequent bus services into the city. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war council estates and there are primary schools and community centres serving local families.

Gib Heath occupies slightly higher ground to the west of Winson Green and includes a stretch of open space used for informal sport and play. Local routes follow the old street pattern rather than a grid, and short stretches of canal and former industrial plots have been repurposed for light industry or small workshops. The area has an active set of resident groups and local projects aimed at maintenance of parks and shopfronts, and regular market-style trading appears along some shopping streets at weekends.
