Bordesley Hall, Birmingham, Georgian country house in Alvechurch, Birmingham, Great Britain.

The estate featured landscaped grounds with a 15-hectare park, ornamental pool, and exotic plants south of the Coventry Road in Small Heath.

Built in 1757 by John Taylor I, a Birmingham button manufacturer, the house replaced an earlier medieval moated manor recorded as Bordesleie in 1175.

The property represented the domestic architecture trends of the eighteenth century, displaying the wealth of industrial entrepreneurs in Georgian Birmingham.

Located one mile north of Redditch, visitors could access the estate through the A441 road and connecting minor roads.

During the Priestley Riots of 1791, the house burned down, causing substantial financial losses to John Taylor and leading to its eventual demolition in 1840.
