Lee Bank is an inner city area of Birmingham, England. It is part of the Edgbaston and Ladywood wards, inside the Middle Ring Road, near to the centre of Birmingham.
Lee Bank's neighbouring areas are Edgbaston, Ladywood, Highgate and Balsall Heath.
Nearby is the former site of Matthew Boulton College before it moved to the Eastside, and a new development called Opal One consisting of student housing.
Famous people that have lived on the estate include the former pop duo Hot 'N' Juicy, who achieved fame when their song, Horny, was remixed by Mousse T..
Historically, the area consisted of Victorian back-to-back slum housing. Unlike most industrial cities of the time these properties took the form of 3 and 4 storey courtyard based housing (with several families sharing one house). In the early 1930s, the notion of slum clearances had become popular in the country, however, clearing Lee Bank was delayed until after World War II.
