Kingshurst is a post-war village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, in the West Midlands, England.

The earliest record of Kingshurst is in documents from the late 13th and early 14th centuries, when it is referred to as part of the Manor of Coleshill.

Tenant farming was administered from here and Simon de Montford of Coleshill was an English nobleman who built a moated manor house in Kingshurst.

It is unclear how Kingshurst came into their possession although it is probable that they bought the area around 1332 from the Clintons, who were then Lords of the Manor at Coleshill.

Shortly after the travesty of the Second World War, housing was needed to allocate civilians who had been bombed out of their homes in the nearby city of Birmingham.

The Birmingham Corporation purchased the site which is now the eastern part of the village from the Meriden Rural District in 1949.

The M6 was also built during this time, it created a natural border between the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull and North Warwickshire, where rural green belt is still present.

On Sunday 11th December 2022, four boys from the village, Finlay, Thomas, Samuel and Jack were taken to hospital in a critical condition, after falling under the ice and into the freezing water.

Built in the 1950s in the Meriden Rural District of Warwickshire, it now lies within the north of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull.

Babbs Mill Lake is located to the south of the village adjacent to the Yorkswood forest amid the vast Kingfisher Country Park on Fordbridge Road.

It contains two bee hives that produce local 'Kingshurst Honey', a chicken coup for eggs, and various beds for plantations of fruits and vegetables.

The open-air kitchen space is used to teach local children culinary art techniques and there is a play area with a frog pond nearby which contributes to biodiversity.

The farm is the first of its kind in Solihull, and the project took place between 2023 and 2024 by sponsors and volunteers from Birmingham Airport, Galliford Try and other notable companies.

The most attended senior/co-ed schools for Kingshurst children are Tudor Grange Academy Kingshurst on Cooks Lane, John Henry Newman Catholic College on Chelmsley Road.The Coleshill School in Warwickshire, and Smith's Wood Academy across the Chester Road in Smith's Wood.

Kingshurst library is located on Marston Drive, alongside the village post office, optician, hair salon, pharmacy and a Co-operative store.

The shopping area is currently undergoing major redevelopment by Solihull Council and West Midlands Combined Authority.

Kingshurst is in the Meriden & Solihull East Parliamentary Constituency with Saqib Bhatti MBE as the Conservative MP since 2019.
