Map of the UK

Stirchley is a lively suburb and electoral ward in south Birmingham, England, roughly four miles from the city centre. It sits along Pershore Road and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, bordering areas such as Bournville and Kings Norton, and features a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar housing and pockets of post‑war development.

Historically a canal‑side and industrial neighbourhood, Stirchley has reinvented itself with a strong community scene - independent shops, cafés, social enterprises and restored local landmarks like Stirchley Baths are notable. Good bus links and nearby rail connections keep it well connected, while markets, heritage projects and active residents’ groups give the ward a grassroots, creative character alongside established residential communities.
