  • Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston
    Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston Bartley Green Reservoir INTRODUCTION Welcome to our fifth newsletter! This month we are focusing on Edgbaston Constituency. The Prevention and Communities (P&C) Commissioning Team are promoting the fantastic, and wide ranging, work happening all over Birmingham. This month it is Edgbaston’s turn to showcase some of what has been achieved with our voluntary and community sector partners. This newsletter will share Edgbaston stories from the different services this team manages and supports including: The Neighbourhood Network Scheme The Prevention and Communities Grants Programme Vulnerable Adults Grants What do we mean by Prevention? Adult Social Care’s Prevention First Vision is about supporting people to lead, “happy, independent lives in their own homes and communities.” Adult Social Care has been changing how we work, taking more time to listen and understand what a good life looks like for people. We are connecting them to the support they need in their community before looking at traditional forms of care. This is known as the Three Conversations approach. To ensure there is community-based support people need and want, our commissioning team have been investing in organisations that can deliver or develop this. Our focus is on support that can improve wellbeing and independence by: reducing isolation, increasing opportunities to be active, maximising income, helping to maintain homes and supporting carers. Please tell us what you think of the newsletter We would love feedback on the newsletter to help us make these really beneficial for social work teams and others who would find these updates useful.

  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 3 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 3. Around the shops from the ‘Back of Rackham’s’ to the Bullring Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton The name ‘Birmingham’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beormingahām, alluding to the home of the Beormingas clan and their settlement here was probably established as early as the 7th Century A.D. However the centre remained a poor region until the later 12th Century when Peter de Bermingham, local lord of the manor, developed a market centre around his castle, in the area that is now the Bull Ring. From then Birmingham’s economy began to take off and it became established as a small market town. The Bull Ring has also been shown to be an area of light industry at this time. Archaeological excavations carried out during the latest phase of construction in the early 2000s have revealed evidence of potters’ workshops and leatherworks during the 13th Century. This building stone walk focuses on the old centre of Birmingham, around the church of St Martin in the Bull Ring and the surrounding shopping malls. The area demonstrates continuity as a centre for trade and retail but the building materials used here have changed beyond those that would have been familiar to Peter de Bermingham and his family. The area has been transformed over the last two decades, and though the oldest part of the city of Birmingham, it is now the symbol of a new vibrant centre, with the covered markets replaced by glamorous shopping malls.

Introduction 2. Chronology 3. Commentary on Historic Maps 4 Tree survey and condition 5. Outline proposals 6. Themes for interpretation 7. Areas for further study Appendix 1: Figures and Maps (reproduced as a separate A3 Appendix) 3 1.0 Introduction Introduction 1.1 This report has been prepared at the request of Birmingham City Council, (BCC) and the Friends of Chamberlain Gardens, to provide a foundation for a Landscape Masterplan for Chamberlain Gardens in the Ladywood District of Birmingham. 1.2 As with all public spaces understanding the history of its development over time can help shape and influence and interpret proposals for its future management. This report, which in effect is a summary document aimed at kick starting the process of rejuvenation and renewal, aims to provide an understanding of the key events that have made Chamberlain Gardens what it is today, a well-used and attractive local public open space. 1.3 In so doing we are indebted to the support and information provided by the Friends of Chamberlain Gardens notably Norman Bartlam, a local historian, who has provided us with a range of historic material. 1.4 The report is divided into a number of sections commencing with a historic chronology, illustrated by newspaper articles of the times, assessing the distribution of trees which are so important as they are often a physical legacy of previous stages in a site’s development over time and then a section on ideas and themes which can be incorporated into a landscape masterplan for the gardens.
