Small Heath, Birmingham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Small Heath is an area within the city of Birmingham, West Midlands, England. It is situated on and around the busy A-Road called the Coventry Road. Small Heath is home to Coca-Cola Championship Football Club Birmingham City. Also in Small Heath are two supermarkets, Asda and Morrisons and the outdoor pursuits centre called the Ackers Trust.
Small Heath was the home to many Irish immigrants during the first half of the 20th Century, but in the latter half of the century many Asian families settled in the area.
Small Heath is part of the Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency, which has being held since 1997 by Labour MP Roger Godsiff. The constituency has the highest proportion of people of Asian origin in the UK, which has lead to calls for a Member of Parliament (MP) of Asian Origin.
