Situated in the outer reaches of south Birmingham, Northfield was originally a part of Worcestershire, before joining Birmingham ranks in 1911 after dynamic development. With a history reaching back to the Stone and Bronze Ages, Northfield has been home to an array of inhabitants over the centuries, from Celts and Romans to ambitious Saxons arriving from the south.

Northfield’s industrious past is fascinating; it was once a hub of the Midlands nail-making industry and was home to the historic Kalamazoo paper factory and the Austin motor company's Longbridge factory. A strategic location for military activities during the English Civil War, it even harboured Prince Rupert of the Rhine at Longbridge House.

Birmingham’s tramways network once connected this charming district, and the Austin village was developed during World War I to house factory workers. Despite its rapid development, Northfield has retained its lush spots, such as Victoria Common, a municipal recreation area. Today, Northfield is chiefly residential, a quaint reminder of the bustle that was.
