Harborne is an affluent town in the West Midlands about 3 miles from Birmingham. In the morning, we had visited the National Trust’s Hanbury Hall near Droitwich Spa on our way to Solihull, and as this wasn’t a million miles out of our way, we decided to visit the Waterstones. It’s located in a modern building in the High Street and opened in 2023 in what was previously a bank. We didn’t have long to explore the small town, but it seemed very nice.
National Trust Hanbury Hall
Hanbury Hall is a pretty, red brick house built in the early 18th century in the William and Mary style for a wealthy lawyer called Thomas Vernon. We stopped there for the obligatory coffee and cake, and to have a look round the house, which was very interesting, and the pretty gardens.
