To mark the occasion exactly 70 years ago - 12 noon on 24th May 1954 - when the Municipal Borough of Solihull came into existence, join the Council's Archivist & Local Studies Librarian, Tracey Williams, on this short guided walk around the historic heart of Solihull town centre.

Starting from The Core, the walk will proceed via Touchwood and Manor Walk onto Church Hill and then to The Square, the High Street, and back to the Core through the Mill Lane Arcade, Touchwood. It should take around an hour.

The route is less than 1km and is paved and flat throughout, so is suitable for wheelchair users. Regrettably, dogs (apart from assistance dogs) are not permitted on the walk.

If possible, attendees are asked to bring along their own wired headphones (3.5mm headphone jack) as the commentary from the walk leader will be transmitted via audio guide receivers.

Our friendly Knit and Natter group meets on the last Tuesday of the month. Share skills and knitting patterns, or brush up on your crochet over a cup of tea and a friendly chat!

Booking not required, just drop in.

We look forward to seeing you!
