Knowle

About

Knowle is a large village in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, West Midlands, situated a few miles southeast of Solihull town centre. The village centre is built along the High Street, where a conservation area protects a number of timber-framed and brick buildings dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. A traditional village green sits near the centre, framed by shops, pubs and the parish church. Small clusters of housing spread out from the High Street toward the edges of the village.

Local facilities include primary schools, a library and sports clubs. There is no railway station in Knowle; the nearest station is Dorridge, a short bus or car journey away. Regular bus services link the village with Solihull and neighbouring suburbs. Annual events and community groups commonly use the green and church halls for meetings, fetes and markets. Streets around the High Street keep much of the settlement pattern established in earlier centuries, giving the area a clear village layout.
