'Many of you will already be familiar with Sue’s excellent books … Solihull Past is no exception.' – Solihull News
Founded as a new town in the 12th century, Solihull, in the Forest of Arden, flourished in the early Middle Ages but then declined into a quiet village in north-west Warwickshire. The turnpikes brought some custom to its coaching inns in the 18th century but it was not until the railway came, in 1850, that its suburbanisation began.
