Harborne is an affluent area sited 3 miles (5 kilometres) south-west of Birmingham, in the West Midlands, England.

There is evidence of a Roman fort around the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and Metchley Park,[2][3] near Harborne.

[5][6] Harborne is a Victorian suburb with a large stock of housing dating from pre-1900 (found mainly around the High Street), and the early 20th century.

St Mary's Church was the first Roman Catholic congregation formed by the Passionists who worshiped in a disused Methodist Chapel on Harborne High Street from 1870[citation needed].

Building work started on the current church, in Vivian Road, on 8 September 1875 and it opened on 6 February 1877.

Harborne became part of the county borough of Birmingham and thus transferred from Staffordshire to Warwickshire in 1891[4] by the Local Govt.

Harborne lies to the west of Edgbaston, to the north of Selly Oak, to the east of Quinton, and to the south of the Bearwood and Warley areas of neighbouring Sandwell.

The infant school reopened a week later, with the juniors moved to nearby Harborne Hall hotel for six months whilst the rebuild took place.

[21] Birmingham City Council awarded the school £1.3 million for the rebuild project, which was completed a year later, in April 2012.

[23] Further plans were submitted for a site on Court Oak Road, near Queen Alexandra College, to expand the school to 840 pupil places.

[24][25] Harborne ward forms part of the Birmingham Edgbaston constituency at Westminster, represented by Labour's Preet Gill since 2017.

It is the only club in the West Midlands to be affiliated to Flyerz Hockey, which supports people with disabilities to play sport.

Harborne's tennis court facilities can be found in Moorpool at The Circle and on Moor Pool Avenue.
