Aston sits just north of Birmingham city centre, separated from the middle of town by the A38(M) motorway. It’s a place where 17th-century history sits right alongside the city’s heavy industrial past, most notably seen at Aston Hall - a grand Jacobean mansion set within a large public park that offers one of the few significant green spaces in this part of town. The area is perhaps most synonymous with Villa Park, the home of Aston Villa FC, which has been a focal point of the community since the late 1800s. Geographically, it’s highly practical for getting around; you’ve got two railway stations, Aston and Witton, which put you in the city centre in under ten minutes, and the junction for the M6 is right on the doorstep at Gravelly Hill. While much of the old back-to-back housing has been replaced by modern developments and light industry, the red-brick character of the Victorian era still lingers in the local architecture and the various university buildings that have expanded into the south of the district.
