[6][7] Between 2011 and 2023, Lichfield formed part of the Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership.

The oldest surviving part of the complex is the former headmaster's house at 45 St John Street, built in 1682.

[27] Following the local government reorganisation in 1974 the building passed to the current Lichfield District Council.

A large extension was added in 1987 facing Frog Lane, incorporating a new main entrance.

[35] Plans have been approved for Friarsgate, a new £100 million shopping and leisure complex opposite Lichfield City Station.

The police station, bus station, Ford garage and multi-storey car park will be demolished to make way for new retail space and leisure facilities consisting of a flagship department store, six-screen cinema, hotel, 37 individual shops, 56 apartments and over 700 car parking spaces.

[37] The artefacts have tentatively been dated to the 7th or 8th centuries, placing the origin of the items in the time of the Kingdom of Mercia.
