*************

Sutton Coldfield ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a town that forms an affluent middle class suburb within the city of Birmingham,^[1] in the West Midlands of England. It lies about 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Birmingham City Centre and borders Erdington, Streetly, North Warwickshire, Lichfield, Tamworth, Kingstanding and Castle Vale. In 2001, it had a population of 105,000.

Historically in Warwickshire, it became part of Birmingham and the West Midlands in 1974.

The Etymology of the name Sutton appears to be from South Town.

The name ""Sutton Coldfield"" appears to come from this time, being the ""south town"" (i.e. south of Tamworth and/or Lichfield) on the edge of the ""col field"". ""Col"" is usually derived from ""charcoal"", charcoal burners presumably being active in the area.^[2]

Areas of Sutton Coldfield include:

• Boldmere
• Falcon Lodge
• Four Oaks
• Little Aston
• Mere Green
• Minworth
• Walmley
• Wylde Green

Sutton Coldfield borders Erdington, Streetly, the district of North Warwickshire and Lichfield and Tamworth in Staffordshire. The area in general is regarded as one of the most prestigious locations in the Birmingham area and even in Central England; a 2007 report by the website Mouseprice.com placed two Sutton Coldfield streets amongst the 20 most expensive in the United Kingdom.^[74][75][76]

The northern stretch of the Birmingham city sandstone ridge culminates at Sutton Coldfield. Plants Brook rises in the area of Streetly and flows through Sutton Park and directly beneath the town centre, then Plants Brook briefly flows through Erdington, notably Pype Hayes Park before returning to Sutton and culminating at Plantsbrook Nature Reserve in Walmley.
