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.
