Solihull Lodge is a residential area of Solihull (to the west of Shirley), near its border with Birmingham (Yardley Wood and Warstock areas). The area developed originally from a number of farms which were located near to the Mill Pond. The arrival of the Birmingham–Stratford canal enabled more development, and now the area has a population of around 10,000. The Mill Pond is still there as is the old Mill House.
