The School Road Conservation Area is on the east side of the A4040 Fox Hollies Road in the Hall Green area of south Birmingham. It contains Miall Road and parts of School Road, Shirley Road and Lakey Lane.

The designated area provides a setting for the Charles Lane Trust Almshouses and the Maggies pub.

The Charles Lane Trust Almshouses were built in the Jacobean Style in the 1930's. The single-storey brick almshouses feature stone mullioned windows, pitched tiled roofs and tall chimney stacks. They are grouped around three sides of a green whose open end faces Fox Hollies Road.

The Maggies (1935) stands at the corner of Shirley Road and School Road. Built in 1935, its rectilinear design and elegant brickwork were heavily influenced by the Bauhaus School. The pub has a roof terrace and its own bowling green whose pavilion is also a listed building.

The surrounding houses are mainly suburban semi-detached pairs of interwar build with subtle variations in design and materials. Many have rustic-faced brick facades, bay windows with leaded lights and semi-circular arched porches.
