Small Heath history

Small Heath, which has been settled and used since Roman times, sits on top of a small hill. The slightly elevated site offers poor agricultural land, lying on a glacial drift of sand and gravel.

Victorian development

The first recording of Small Heath was noted in 1461, which term applied to a narrow heath between Green Lane and Coventry Road, where the baths and library were built later . The 1799 opening of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal defined the southern edge of this scattered rural community . In 1852, the Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway opened the same route .

The development of properties in the area was made easier and cheaper through the extraction of the local clay, which was then turned into bricks . The largest local clay pit was located on Cattell Road .

World War II

By the outbreak of World War II, BSA Guns Ltd at Small Heath was the only factory producing rifles in the UK . The armed forces had chosen the 500 cc side-valve BSA M20 motorcycle as their preferred machine . The Government requisitioned the 690 machines BSA had in stock .
