Moseley Grammar School is on College Road in Springfield. It was designed by Joseph James in the Decorated Style and built in red-brick with stone dressings in 1850.

The main facade features crocket-trimmed gables, mullioned windows and an axial tower with corner turrets. The interior contains a hall, library and cloister.

The building was originally Springfield College: an institution that trained Congregationalist ministers and which was endowed by the Mansfield family whose coat-of-arms still appear on Moseley School badge.

After Springfield College closed in 1886, the building was variously used as an orphanage, military barracks and teacher-training college. It became a secondary school in 1923 and a boys grammar in 1939.

The building was restored in the 1980's after the roof of the library collapsed; it re-opened as a sixth form centre in 1998.

New Hall is on the Walmley Road in the New Hall area of Sutton Coldfield. The core building is an L-shaped mediaeval hall (circa 1300) to which a second matching wing was added in 1590 and a third rear wing in the 1620's.

The rear wing was embellished with a tower and battlements in the Early English Style in 1796 and the hall was partially rebuilt in the Gothic Style in 1869.

The interior contains original mediaeval & Tudor banqueting halls, several panelled rooms and a splendid newel staircase guarded by heraldic beasts. The grounds, which are enclosed by a moat, contain listed stables, chapel, cottage and coach house.

New Hall was originally owned by Earl of Warwick and inhabited by the various local gentry who held the surrounding estates on his behalf.

It was sold to Thomas Gibbons in 1552 whereupon it passed through a succession of private owners; the last was the industrialist Sir Alfred Owen who lived there until his death in 1975; the hall was then converted into a hotel.

New Hall Mill is off Wylde Green Road at New Hall Valley Country Park in Sutton Coldfield.

The mill and adjoining meadow are privately owned and managed by a registered charity.

New Hall Mill was built in the 18th century on the foundations of a far older mill. It is powered by water stored in a millpond that was formerly fed by a leat from Plants Brook. This leat has silted-up and so the mill can only be operated by recycling water already in the millpond.

This water is channelled onto an external overshot wheel that operates two mill stones for grinding corn. The other mill machinery is powered by diesel engine. Public access is restricted to special open days.

The Old Grammar School on Kings Norton Green dates from the early 15th century.

The building, which stands on a stone plinth, has a brick & stone ground floor and a half-timbered first floor. The projecting central bay features a porch added in the late 15th century.

The interior contains some 17th century panelling and an Edwardian staircase (circa 1910).

The Old Grammar School, which closed in 1878, was a church school; the vicar of St Nicholas' parish church was also its headmaster.

The most famous headmaster was Thomas Hall, a Puritan who wrote a pamphlet "on the loathsomeness of long hair". The school flourished under his leadership in the 1630's when many local boys won scholarships to Oxford University.

Old Know Lower School is on Waverly Road in Small Heath. It was designed by Chamberlain & Martin in the Gothic Style in the 1880's after school attendance had been made compulsory for children under 13.

The school was built in red-brick with moulded cut-brick & terracotta dressings. It is characterised by a proliferation of gables, quatrefoils, lancets and broad-arch windows.

The slender ventilation tower and the original gates and railings have survived.

Old Moor Street Railway Station is next to the Bull Ring in the Retail Quarter; it was designed by W.Y. Armstrong and built in brick with terracotta dressings in 1909.

The station features five curved stone gables above a single-storey entrance range that contains six circular glazed-bar windows.

Moor Street Station was built as a terminus by the Great Western Railway in order to relieve pressure on Snow Hill Station. Trains could terminate at Moor Street on the east side of the city centre and so avoid the congested underground tunnel to Snow Hill Station on the west side.

Snow Hill Station closed in the 1960's but reopened in 1986 whereupon Moor Street was rebuilt on a new track alignment as a through-station. However, the old terminus building was preserved as a booking hall and retail area.
