Description
Around Solihull Through Time by Anthony Poulton-Smith explores the history and development of this West Midlands town. From its medieval beginnings as a market town to its modern-day prosperity, Solihull has undergone significant changes over the past century. The town's growth is reflected in its population, which increased from 7,500 in 1901 to six figures by the 1960s. The transformation of the town centre, once largely unchanged for over a century, has brought new life to the area and attracted visitors from near and far. In contrast, many outlying villages have retained their traditional character, offering a glimpse into the past. This book offers a unique perspective on Solihull's history, highlighting the enduring landmarks that remain despite the changes that have taken place over time.
