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.

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. Community halls and events in the hall gardens form a regular part of local life.
