Rednal: The name Rednal is believed to have Old English origins, possibly meaning valley of reeds. Historically, Rednal was a rural area with agricultural activities. Over the years, it underwent significant changes with industrialization and suburban development. The construction of housing estates and infrastructure in the 20th century transformed Rednal into a suburban residential area. One notable feature in the vicinity is Lickey Hills, which has a long history of human activity, including ancient settlements. The area is known for its natural beauty and has been a popular recreational destination. Rubery: Like Rednal, Rubery has a history rooted in agriculture. It was a small village in Worcestershire before becoming part of the expanding suburbs of Birmingham in the 20th century. The development of the Longbridge motor works, which produced cars for the Austin and Rover brands, played a significant role in the growth of the surrounding areas, including Rubery.
