About

Housing includes 19th- and 20th-century terraces, semi-detached streets and post-war estates; primary schools and community centres serve residents. The parish church of St Mary and St Margaret stands near the centre. Castle Bromwich Hall and its Grade II* listed gardens provide a formal green space and are managed as historic gardens open to visitors.

Industry and engineering mark the northern edge: the Castle Bromwich Assembly plant (Jaguar Land Rover) occupies a large site, and the area also hosted the Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory during the Second World War, where Supermarine Spitfires were built. Small parks, playing fields and allotments are scattered through the ward, and a network of bus routes along Chester Road links the neighbourhood with other parts of Solihull.
