Industrialization and Growth During the Industrial Revolution, Harborne experienced significant growth, with the development of industries such as textiles and engineering. The area became a popular residential location for wealthy industrialists and professionals. 20th Century Development In the early 20th century, Harborne underwent significant suburban development, with the construction of new housing estates and infrastructure. Elmwood Court was likely developed during this period. Present Day Today, Harborne is a thriving and affluent suburb, known for its tree-lined streets, historic buildings, and vibrant community.
