HISTORY OF SOUTHSIDE 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 area 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.
