Burbury Park, Birmingham - A wonderful open space!

In brief

Burbury Park is on land that until 1996 was part of Lucas Industries. It stretched on land north of Great King Street (having been founded by Joseph Lucas in 1872). After the headquarters was demolished, a park was laid out between Wheeler Street, Farm Street and Villa Street in Newtown. It opened in the late 1990s.
