Drainage Kings Norton is shaped by the area's layered history. The properties nearest to Kings Norton village green and St Nicolas Church are among the oldest in south Birmingham, and their drainage systems reflect this. Salt-glazed clay pipes laid in the Victorian era are over 130 years old in some streets. The ground movement that has occurred across more than a century means joints have shifted and tree root ingress is persistent. These pipes need careful CCTV assessment before any repair work is priced.
