Lickey Hills


Lickey Hills and Environs

Lickey Hills Environment watchLickey Hills is an area to the South West of Birmingham. Here are some details of the history of the area and of the Two Villages Lickey and Barnt Green which are to the south of the Lickeys. Barnt Green is an unusual Village for England in that it didn't grow in the usual way around a group of farms at a central location. Instead it grew around a Station. This development can be seen in the names of the roads. There are no Streets and in particular no High Street.
