B6 4BS is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Mill Street, 0.4km from New Town Row in Birmingham. Administratively it sits within Nechells ward and the Birmingham, Ladywood constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, B6 4BS is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — science and business parks with high status workers.
