Fordbridge is a civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. It is part of the Chelmsley Wood estate, encompasses the area west of the River Cole and lies within the historic county of Warwickshire and the modern county of West Midlands, England. According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 8,749.[1]
The area of Kingshurst borders Fordbridge at the western point of Cooks Lane. A significant part of the area borders the City of Birmingham district to the west to the south and east.
Etymology
Fordbridge gets its name from the crossing over the River Cole on Cooks Lane, which was referred to as "Ford Bridge" on 19th century OS maps.[2] This name suggests this site was previously a ford, but eventually a bridge was built on the site of that ford, thus giving the bridge and ultimately the civil parish its name.
Transport
The closest railway station to the town is Marston Green.
