New Town Row is the name of this stretch of the A34 running from Birmingham city centre to Aston. The area was redeveloped as Newtown in the late 1960s, with industrial units and high rise housing constructed further out, beyond the (middle) ring road. For more on Newtown see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtown,_Birmingham ; the first three housing blocks visible here are described on the University of Edinburgh Tower Block site here https://www.towerblock.eca.ed.ac.uk/development/newtown-redevelopment-area-u134 .
