OS grid ref:SP 13 79
Population:126,577

Solihull is a suburban market town in the West Midlands, just east of Birmingham and historically part of Warwickshire. It has a compact old centre with timber-framed Tudor buildings and the 15th-century St Alphege Church, alongside modern amenities such as the Touchwood shopping centre; the town is often regarded as relatively affluent with good schools and a strong commuter culture.

Economically the area mixes retail and professional services with close connections to manufacturing and events - the wider borough includes the National Exhibition Centre and benefits from quick access to the M42 and Birmingham Airport. Plenty of parks and greenbelt, notably Tudor Grange Park, help retain a leafy, small‑town feel despite its proximity to a major city.
