Today the centre of the village boasts a range of thriving local shops and one of the oldest public houses in the West Midlands dating back to the 13th century. There are a range of good local amenities and it provides easy access to Birmingham International Airport, the NEC, five motorways and with Coventry, Birmingham and Solihull all readily accessible.
