Quinton in south-east Birmingham is around five miles west of the city centre along the Hagley Road West.
Originally it was a small village, also known as "Ridgeacre", and was home to a mixture of small farms and nail-making industries. It now stretches to the borders of Halesowen, Warley and Harborne. According to the city council, it’s one of the better performing wards in the city for child poverty levels and is amongst the least deprived wards in the city.
Resident employment rates in the ward are above the city average and claimant count unemployment proportions are below the Birmingham average.
The neighbourhood is also home to three amateur football teams, Quinton Monarch, Quinton Magpies and Quinton Rangers - all three play in the Warley and District Football League.
We’ve decided to take a look at the famous faces who are from the Birmingham neighbourhood.
