The Nonsens (Ladywood Interchange)

Between the 19th century and the middle of the 20th century, Ladywood was a very impoverished and deprived area. This was at it worst between 1860 and 1900, where disease, early death, and infant mortality were common. In the 1960s and 1970s, flats with better conditions. were built by Birmingham City Council, but many were destroyed by the year 2000. During the same time, the government tried to end the "slums" of the area. Data from the 2020s shows that unemployment is still higher than the UK average, at over 6%. There is more of a mix of different social classes than in the previous 50 years.
