Duddeston, Inner-city district in central Birmingham, England

Duddeston spans across several streets with residential buildings, including four notable tower blocks that mark the skyline of this Birmingham neighborhood.

The area traces its origins to 963 when King Eadgar granted a charter to Wulfget the Thane, with the name derived from Dud's Town.

The neighborhood transformed from an industrial center to a residential district, reflecting the changes in Birmingham's social and economic patterns over decades.

The district connects to Birmingham's transportation network through Duddeston Railway Station, providing regular services to the city center and beyond.

Between 1954 and 1955, the construction of four distinctive tower blocks known as the Duddeston Four introduced new housing standards in post-war Britain.
