Soho Road

Soho Road The most popular Soho Road community page to celebrate all things good, bad, amazing, crazy, about all that is Soho Road in Handsworth, Birmingham.

Handsworth is a distinct part of Birmingham, but it has only been within the city’s boundaries since 1911. Before then it was part of Staffordshire. Much of Handsworth parish remained rural into the 20th century, but by 1900 the area around the Soho Road had developed into a wealthy suburb of middle-class dwellings and terraced homes for members of the skilled working class. The Soho Road became H

andsworth’s artery. Originally a turnpike route in the 18th century linking Birmingham with the Black Country, it became part of Thomas Telford’s London to Holyhead Road in the early19th century, bisecting what was still a predominantly rural parish. Large villas were built alongside the road, but as urbanisation developed in the late 19th century, the Soho Road became a major shopping street. The nature of the road changed as the local community developed. By the year 2000, it contained a library, police station, schools, a college, places of worship, advice centres, travel agents, fitness centres and restaurants as well as shops.

Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Henry Nowak. This senseless act is deeply tragic and should be condemned without reservation. The actions of one individual do not reflect the values of the Sikh community, which stands for compassion, service, and respect for all. RIP Henry Nowak and our thoughts are with the family of Henry. Soho Road Community.
