Sutton Coldfield

Sutton Coldfield is a town situated at the north-eastern tip of Birmingham, England. Until 1974 it was a part of Warwickshire, and a Royal borough in its own right, it is now administratively a part of Birmingham. The formal Mayoral chains of office are now on display in Birmingham Council House

Sutton (as it is often called) has a population of about 100,000, and forms a single parliamentary constituency. The Member of Parliament since 2001 is Andrew Mitchell (Conservative). It comprises the wards of Sutton Four Oaks, Sutton Vesey and Sutton New Hall.

The area is home to Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield F.C, and the first television transmitter outside London. Just outside Sutton Coldfield is The Belfry, a hotel with a renowned golf complex whose Brabazon course has hosted the Ryder Cup several times.
