SOUTHSIDE HISTORY Early Years (1800s)
The area was originally a rural district, with scattered farms and cottages. The construction of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in the 1840s brought new industries and housing to the area.
Industrialization and Growth ( Late 1800s-Early 1900s)
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Southside experienced rapid industrialization and growth. Factories, workshops, and warehouses sprouted up along the canal and railway lines. The area became a hub for various industries, including metalworking, engineering, and printing.
Post-War Redevelopment (1950s-1970s)
Following World War II, Southside underwent significant redevelopment. Many of the old factories and warehouses were demolished to make way for new housing, offices, and shopping centres. The construction of the Birmingham Inner Ring Road in the 1960s and 1970s further transformed the area.
Regeneration Efforts (1980s-Present)
In recent decades, Southside has undergone significant regeneration efforts. The area has seen investments in new housing, retail, and leisure developments. The redevelopment of the canal area, including the construction of new apartments and offices, has also helped to revitalize the area.
St John's Walk
St John's Walk, specifically, has a history dating back to the 19th century. Originally a residential street, it was lined with Victorian-era houses. Over the years, the street has undergone significant changes, with many of the original houses being demolished or converted into commercial properties. Today, St John's Walk is a bustling area with a mix of shops, restaurants, and offices.
Modern Southside
Today, Southside is a vibrant and diverse area, known for its rich history, cultural attractions, and modern amenities. The area is home to the Birmingham Hippodrome, one of the UK's most popular theaters, as well as the Gay Village, which hosts the annual Birmingham Pride festival.
