Handsworth

Handsworth is an urban area in Birmingham, England with a high concentration of ethnic minorities. Notorious for its rather high crime rate and largely immigrant (mostly asian/caribbean) populous, it is not uncommon for people to avoid going there.

Handsworth is also believed to be the base of operations for the infamous "Burger Bar Crew" who have been well documented to have a long running feud with rivals "The Johnsons", who reside in nearby Newtown, Lozells and Aston.

Cetain areas in Handsworth are known for the notoriety of their residents and many people choose not to visit them for fear of physical violence against their person, such places include "Raleigh Close" and "Centenary Drive"
