Much of Birmingham, including the modern city centre, forms part of the Hemlingford Hundred of [[Warwickshire]]. Some north-western suburbs form part of the Offlow Hundred of [[Staffordshire]], with some southern areas being Halfshire and Pershore Hundreds of [[Worcestershire]].
Birmingham is unusual among major English cities in that it does not have any major rivers running through it. The River Tame (which joins the [[River Trent|Trent]] some 20 miles to the north-east in [[Alrewas]], Staffordshire) runs through the town's northernmost suburbs of [[Perry Barr]] and Aston. Birmingham's two other rivers are tributaries of the Tame; the River Rea skirts the city centre to the east, passing through Digbeth, befroe meting the Tame near the suburb of Gravely Hill, whilst the River Cole rises near the suburb of [[Hawkesley]] and passes through Birmingham's eastern suburbs to meet the Tame at Coleshill.
