| OS grid ref: | SP 14 87 |
The Glebe Farm & Tile Cross ward sits on the eastern edge of Birmingham, a predominantly suburban area of housing estates and modest shopping parades. The neighbourhood combines post‑war and later residential streets with pockets of green space along the River Cole valley, giving local parks and walking routes that contrast with the surrounding urban sprawl.
Historically the "Tile Cross" name hints at clay working and tile‑making before 20th‑century suburbanisation; today the local economy is largely retail and services with some light industrial estates on the outskirts and good road links to the M6 and A45. The ward is socially mixed and culturally diverse, served by schools and community centres, with modest regeneration projects aiming to improve housing and local facilities.
