Stirchley, West Midlands
Stirchley is a district in Bournville Ward in the south west of Birmingham MB, England. It has a linear retail centre located along the Pershore Road Corridor (A441) from Breedon Cross to Cartland Road. The River Rea once powered mills at Lifford, Hazelwell, Dogpool, and Moor Green but is now a walking and cycle route. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal, followed by the railways, brought considerable industry to the area. New residential developments are now established alongside Victorian housing. A long-standing supermarket battle has resulted in some decline especially as demolition inevitably precedes construction work. The restoration of the former Stirchley Baths to create a new community hub is nearing completion and it is scheduled to be opened in November 2015.
The area is served by (Stirchley Library ).
==Political==
Bournville Ward is represented by three Councillors: Tim Huxtable (Con), Rob Seeley (Con) and Phil Wakeling (Lab). Bournville is in the Parliamentary Constituency of Selly Oak represented by Steve McCabe (Lab). Until the Local Provisional Order (No 13) Bill came into effect on 9 November 1911 〔Hansard: Local Government Provisional Order (No 13) Bill (HC Deb 16 February 1911 volume 21 cc1321-53)〕 the area was administered by the King’s Norton and Northfield Urban District Council in the East Worcestershire (UK Parliament constituency) represented by Austen Chamberlain. The event, known as the Greater Birmingham Act,〔Briggs, Asa: History of Birmingham, Volume II, Borough and City 1865-1938 (OUP 1952) chapter 5〕 required the ancient county boundaries of Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire to be changed. The former county boundary was the Bourn Brook which separates Edgbaston (Warwickshire), from Selly Oak (Worcestershire). Slightly more than 22,000 acres of Worcestershire was transferred to Warwickshire in the extension of the administrative area of Birmingham, and this has grown further with the creation of New Frankley.〔Manzoni, Herbert J: Report on the Survey –Written Analysis (Birmingham City Council 1952) p7〕 Nearly 50% of modern Birmingham was formerly in Worcestershire or Staffordshire. The Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844 is complex as a number of enclaves and exclaves were adjusted. Documentary references need to be researched under the county of origin. An editorial note in the VCH Warwickshire Volume 7 Birmingham refers to the special difficulties created by the change of the county boundaries and states that: "Accounts of the ancient parishes of King’s Norton, Northfield, and Yardley, and the parish of Quinton (in the ancient parish of Halesowen), now within the boundaries of the city, are contained in Volume III of the History of Worcestershire."〔Stevens, W B (Editor): VCH Warwick Volume VII: The City of Birmingham (OUP 1964) page xv〕
