    It isn't, Lozells is a small area next to Handsworth (where I'm from).

    where would you define as Lozells by borders ? Id say the A34 from the Mosque up to where Lozells Rd joins 6 ways Aston is Lozells, but by the time you get to Azims Id class that as Handsworth, everything running parrallel Id say could be classed as either.

    Dunno really I'm not a map maker. Was just pointing out that Lozells isn't 'part of Handsworth', it simply isn't any more than Perry Barr is.
    Senisble lass your mum.
    TBH I haven't lived in Handsworth for years, I live in Handsworth Wood now.
