Tower Blocks, Shirestone Road
These six Y-shaped housing blocks were built in 1951, a time of acute housing shortage, for Birmingham County Borough Council (according to Lynsey Hanley in 'Estates', they were the first high-rise council housing in Birmingham). Each block is of 6 storeys with 30 dwellings, so, 180 homes in total. They were built by Wimpey to their 'no-fines' method (concrete made from clinker with no fine aggregates). They were named after Midlands country towns: Banbury, Ledbury, Leominster, Monmouth (now in Wales), Redditch and Stafford. Ledbury House can be seen in the foreground.
