Ladywood is an inner-city district next to central Birmingham. Historically in Warwickshire, in June 2004, Birmingham City Council conducted a citywide "Ward Boundary Revision" to round-up the 39 Birmingham wards to 40. As a result of this, Ladywood Ward's boundaries were expanded to include the neighbouring areas of Hockley, Lee Bank and Birmingham city centre.
==History== Between the 19th century and the middle of the 20th century, Ladywood was a very impoverished and deprived area. This was at it worst between 1860 and 1900, where disease, early death, and infant mortality were common. In the 1960s and 1970s, flats with better conditions. were built by Birmingham City Council, but many were destroyed by the year 2000. During the same time, the government tried to end the "slums" of the area.
