This polygon records the historic extent of Handsworth as shown in 1851. Little historic fabric remains within this area from this date - much having been renewed in the late 19th century (much of the north - south stretch of Handsworth road - rebuilt as terraced houses). The polygon includes a number of mid twentieth century commercial units built when Handsworth Road became a dual carriageway in the late twentieth century. Survivals from at least 1850 include the Turf Tavern (which has lost its attached smithy), the Cross Keys, and parts of the Working Men's Club (originally a private house) Fragmentary legibility only.
