Considered Birminghams
Shoreditch by many, this slightly
bohemian, up-and-coming part of
the city is often the first entry point
for those who arrive by coach.
With two conservation areas
Digbeth, Deritend and High Streets
Conservation Area, and the Warwick Bar Conservation Area and
strong connections to the Irish
community, its place of history and
culture.
Digbeth Residents Association
estimates there are about 3,000 residents in the whole of the area, but
more developments are being built
as investors snap up the industrial
land and properties, keen to take
advantage of its proximity to the
Bullring, as well as Moor Street and
New Street Railway stations.
With lans for HS2 and the
terminal at Curzon Street
also on the table, plus
major regeneration
schemes for the whole
of Eastside, complete
with new public realm
and cultural quarter,
and redevelopment of
the long-neglected
Typhoo Tea factory into a
new Birmingham City University campus, you can
expect Digbeth and Deritend to
undergo a complete revolution over
the next few years.
