Edgbaston

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

Edgbaston is an area in the city of Birmingham in England. It curves around the south and west of the original town of Birmingham, and is bordered by Moseley to the south east and by Smethwick and Winson Green to the north west.Edgbaston is also a local government district, managed by its own district committee. The parliamentary constituency includes the smaller Edgbaston ward and the wards of Bartley Green, Harborne and Quinton.Edgbaston traditionally has a reputation for being one of the most upmarket and affluent parts of Birmingham or "where the trees begin". In the 19th century, the area was under the control of the Gough-Calthorpe family who refused to allow factories or warehouses to be built in Edgbaston, thus making it attractive for the middle class. Edgbaston is home to the University of Birmingham, established as Birmingham Medical School in 1825.
