Highbury Gardens in Moseley is undergoing a £2.3m facelift.

Just over £2m of this is funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Grade II-listed Highbury Hall and its grounds date from the 19th century.

They tell an important story about Birmingham’s industrial and political past.

The grounds are a valued community space, which are in dire need of restoration.

This work will improve the Italian Garden, the Sunken Garden and the Crucible Wall.

David Kidney, chair of the Chamberlain Highbury Trust, said: “We are absolutely delighted that the National Lottery’s Heritage Fund will support us so fully in our immediate ambition to restore Highbury’s grounds to their former greatness.”
