This once tiny hamlet of 'The Hawthorns' named after the farm that dominated the area, gives us families of great wealth, stories of courage,
anecdotes of trivia and everything in between.
It visits the Mitchells and Butlers Alms houses on Perry Hill which still remain today. It enters the church records at The Quinton and brewery records for The Red Lion pub
which stood on what is now the central reservation on the Hagley Road West. Both contributing to a glimpse of both the tenants and their customers, hence the title:

A farmland that once spread along Red Lion Hill, (which is now the main Hagley Road West).
Its hard to imagine the rambling fields that wandered up Perry Hill to Oak Road, Elm Croft, Stanley Road, Warwick Road and along Birch Road and Birch Lane. The land touched the Wolverhampton Road and Galton's park and went over the main Hagley Road to The old Holly Bush then on to Trevanie Ave. |
