Druids Heath is a large housing estate in southern Birmingham, England, covering the south-west quadrant of the B14 postcode (west of the Maypole). Primarily known for the large council estate in the Brandwood ward of south Birmingham, the estate is situated on former farmland on the southern edge of Bells Lane, with Druids Lane forming the eastern, southern, and western borders. When first planned, it was known as Bells Lane Phases 1 and 2 and was part of wider postwar plans for the development of the area to accommodate the growing population of the city. Nearby settlements include Kings Heath and Kings Norton; it used to be part of them.
Part of Druids Heath was ranked as the most deprived area in Birmingham and in the top fifty most deprived areas in the country in the 2019 Multiple deprivation index.[1]
