Erdington, a suburb and ward in northern Birmingham, has a rich history, slightly older than the city, and a population of 21,552. Erdington was valued at thirty shillings in the Doomsday Book. Most houses up until the Second World War, were built with bricks from the Nocks brickworks on Holly Lane.
