Aston New Town West Midlands Map

About Aston New Town

Aston New Town presents a quiet face to the north-east of Birmingham. It lies 2.1 km north-north-east of Birmingham (from Birmingham: bearing 28°T, OS grid SP 077 887). The area, once perhaps more open to the sky, now presents a neat geometry of residential streets, where the evening light, when it breaks through the industrial haze, can still find a pleasing reflection on the rows of terraced houses. A faint scent of coal smoke, a ghost of Birmingham's industrial past, sometimes drifts on the breeze, mingling with the more modern aroma of exhaust fumes. The local parish church, St. Michael's, stands as a modest sentinel, its spire a familiar point in the suburban skyline. The rhythm of Aston New Town is that of the commuter, the steady pulse of a community woven into the wider metropolitan fabric.
