Lickey Grange - Entrance to Site of Lickey Grange
The road of Lickey Grange is off the Old Birmingham Road ( B4096). The properties were built on the site of what was Lickey Grange. The Grange was the former home of Herbert (Lord) Austin who founded the Austin Motor Car Company at Longbridge. Lord Austin is buried, with his wife, at the nearby Lickey Church (SO994753) After his death the property and grounds were taken over in 1953 by the Birmingham Royal Institute for the Blind. After they left the Grange and outbuildings were converted in houses and apartments.

Graceland Garage
Locals will remember this as Hillside Garage, the garage/filling station owned and run by Les Morris. The pumps went first then after he retired it was taken on by an "Elvis" fan. Rumour has it that one night over a recent Christmas holiday a passing motorist called out the police because of "a drunken reveller playing a guitar on the roof".

Driveway to Rainbows Farm
Although shown on the map as Firs Farm, to locals this has always been known as Rainbows Farm (from the family who have lived there for many years). As of October 2016, the farm is in the process of being sold. Might this scene be very different in a few years from now? No-one knows.
As David Smith Image said in 2013 there is "farmland between Marlbrook and Lickey." Will that remain?
