More about Stechford Birmingham
More about Stechford Birmingham
Stechford is an area of Birmingham, England, situated about five miles
east of the city centre, bordering Ward End, Yardley, Hodge Hill and Kitts
Green.
The district is cut across by the River Cole, the
Birmingham to London railway, and the Birmingham Outer Circle
(A4040).
All of the land around the Cole is flood plain, which
means that Stechford has a wide swathe of green, semi-wild
vegetation. It is still possible to canoe from Stechford to Water Orton.
The Cole and the green area around it, are being restored through the
Kingfisher Project [1].
The project also takes in Stechford
Fairground, which is home to two funfairs each year. The area around the
River Cole is now greenbelt land which prevents developers from
constructing on the site. .
Local attractions in the area include
the Stechford Cascades, a swimming pool with a large slide and other
machines which involve water. Another is Stechford Retail Park,
which contains shops such as McDonalds, Currys and Argos. In March 2006,
the Matalan store in the retail park, was engulfed and destroyed by a
fire.
Stechford has a long-standing row of shops along Station
Road, with a lesser group of shops on Albert Road. Main shopping
centres are connected by the Outer Circle (A4040) and the number 11 Bus.
Nearby shopping areas are the Fox & Goose in Ward End and The Yew Tree
in Yardley.
The local railway station is Stechford Railway Station.
Houses in the area are mainly council houses or old Victorian houses
built around the station.
Stechford has three churches. Stechford
Baptist [2], on Victoria Road, All Saints (Anglican) on Albert Road, and
Corpus Christi (Roman Catholic) on Albert Road. The churches hold an
annual Remembrance Day service at the Five Ways War Memorial on
Remembrance Sunday, early November, which is attended by about two hundred
people.
Stechford's history is unclear. Its oldest components
are Station Road (known as Stoney Lane since Norman times) and
Flaxleye Farm, first referenced in 1218. The farm is no longer remains,
however the farmhouse remains as 143 Flaxley Road, although the oldest
parts of the current building cannot be older than the 1600s. The
closest buildings of historical importance are St Edburgh's church
and Blakesley Hall, both a stone's throw outside Stechford in Yardley. The
name Stechford is apparently a reference to the Stich or Stitch, a
local tributary of the River Cole, although the Stitch is now
entirely under culverts. A ford over the Cole is first referenced in 1249.
The name Stechford was unknown until the construction of Stechford Station
in 1844, and it has been conjectured that it was simply a railway
mispelling. The name Stycheforde is attested since 1400. The common
mispelling Stetchford is not an acceptable variant.
Old
Stechford appears to have been mainly a cluster of buildings around the
railway station. By 1900 most of the current area was still farmland. Some
station houses are still present and remain along the main road.
However, development on this area was considered difficult due to
the steep gradient of the land nearby which can clearly be seen. This
resulted in buildings built on the slope having to have stilts located
underneath the ground floor. In some buildings, these are clearly
visible.
For most of the 20th century Stechford was its own
parliamentary constituency, represented by Roy Jenkins, Labour for
27 years from 1950, although it has been alleged in parliament that he
never lived there [3]. When Jenkins stepped down to become a European
Commissioner in 1977, the seat was won by Conservative Andrew
MacKay, and Jenkins's future partners, the Liberal Party were leapfrogged
by the National Front who obtained third place. The National Front and its
successor British National Party have continued to target the area.
In 1984 the Stechford constituency was broken into Hodge Hill and
Yardley.
