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.
