Capturing, preserving and sharing Solihull's history. Also commemorating local casualties from the First World War #SolihullRemembers
This is an extract of a longer video by local film-makers and photographers, filmed in March 1954 when Princess Margaret presented then Urban District of Solihull with a Royal Charter of Incorporation as a Borough. It shows the area around Poplar Road and Warwick Road, including then Council House (now the Assembly Rooms pub).

If you fancy trying to capture your day in a video for Solihull Life in A Day on 12th November, please do! If you upload it to YouTube, please tag it with soliday, and we’ll create a playlist of your videos. It doesn’t have to be a full-length film like this one, even a minute or two would be great. Just share with us the parts of your day that are most important to you.
