Where is Bloomsbury Park?
Bloomsbury Park is on Bloomsbury Street, Nechells, Birmingham, B7 4PQ. Close to Nechells Parkway, and not far from Duddeston Station.
In brief
The park also has a play area and a metal sculpture of one of the earliest motor cars built in Birmingham, the Lanchester. This was made of steel in 1995 by Tim Tolkien (a great nephew of the writer J. R. R. Tolkien). It commemorates the work of Frederick William Lanchester. The park was formerly called Bloomsbury Village Green.
