The Firs Estate was a council estate located in the larger Bromford estate in the north-east area of Birmingham. Constructed in the late 1950s, it occupied former semi-rural floodland south of the River Tame. The land, which was punctuated by pools and pits, was drained and mostly levelled. It was one of three estates merged together to form Bromford, the other two being Upper Firs and Bromford Bridge. The buildings were constructed by Stubbings using the Trucson construction method and the estate was completed in 1959.
