Overview
 
Lozells is in the Lozells and East Handsworth ward.

It is flanked by Birchfield, Handsworth, Hockley, Newtown and Soho.

And is named after Lorres Hill at the junction of Lozells Road and Wheeler Street.

Lozells was common wasteland until the 1830's when it was developed as a high-density residential suburb.

It is characterised by pre-1919 terraces with landmark Victorian churches and surviving Georgian villas.

Unlike the neighbouring area of Newtown, its terraced houses were well-built and did not share the same back walls.

Consequently, its Victorian townscape survived wholescale post-war redevelopment.
