Did You Know? Since pre-Saxon times, there has been a village at Erdington. By the mid 18th century, it had a population of less than 700 and consisted of 40 farms, 96 cottages, 2 smithies and a shop. Industrial development followed the arrival of the canal network and the introduction of the railways. The resulting drift of town dwellers from Birmingham all began to shape Erdington as the thriving suburb we know today.

Did You Know? There are approximately 25,000 residents in Erdington from a diverse ethnic mix. Some 9,000 people are employed by companies such as Sainsburys, Colliers and The Co-op Superstore.

Erdington has urbanised into a vibrant town centre where people choose to live, work and visit as well as being one of the largest surburban centres in the City. Its continued growth and development is very much dependent on everyone working together to stimulate Erdington’s regeneration.
