The Shire Country Park runs past Sarehole Mill and along the course of the River Cole to Small Heath.

The old village of Sarehole (now on the border of Hall Green and Moseley) is where J. R. R. Tolkien lived as a child and gained inspiration for the Hobbit's home "The Shire" as well as the book, The Lord of the Rings.

The stadium was closed by its owners Euro Property Investments Limited in July 2017 to make way for the 'Olympia' housing estate.

[5][6] On School Road is the Church of the Ascension, formerly the Job Marston Chapel, which was built in 1704 and is believed to have been designed by Sir William Wilson.

The architectural style of these brick and tile properties is typified by massive chimneys and timbers, leaded casements, and bracketed bays.

Built in 1958, it consists of a reinforced concrete framed classroom and an administration block clad with cedar boards and aluminium windows.

Hall Green railway station is on the Birmingham to Stratford Line with some services also running between Kidderminster & Worcester Foregate Street and Stratford-Upon-Avon & Whitlocks End.

Hall Green has been a home to comedian Tony Hancock, who lived at 41 Southam Road until the age of three (the house contains a plaque commemorating this), racing commentator Murray Walker, who was born at 214 Reddings Lane (which is now a dentist's surgery), 1992 Formula One world champion Nigel Mansell, who though born in Upton-upon-Severn spent most of his childhood and early adult years in the area,[8] comedian Joe Lycett who is believed to have later settled in Kings Heath in his own residence,[9] actor and writer Christopher Smith, former British number one tennis player Daniel Evans, TV personality Alison Hammond and most famously J. R. R. Tolkien, who lived near Sarehole Mill, Birmingham's only working water mill.

Sarehole Mill is a tourist attraction, powered by a tributary of the River Cole, that is open to visitors during the summer months and has several locations nearby that are the inspiration behind scenes in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
