History of Harborne

The book explores the rich history and rural heritage of Harborn, a suburb of west Birmingham. It highlights the contrast between modern suburban life and the remnants of its past, such as the expansive golf courses and the 'old village' conservation area, which features historic buildings like an ancient hall, an 18th-century house, quaint cottages, and a traditional village pub. Through the perspectives of older residents, it captures the nostalgia and enduring charm of the community.
