Highbury Park, Birmingham - A wonderful open space!

Highbury Park is a beautiful open green space, is home to a variety of wildlife and plant species and has the largest variety of trees of any park in Birmingham.


Where is the park?

Highbury Park is located between Moseley and Kings Heath.

View HERE on our Birmingham map.

There are entrances to the park from the top of the High Street in Kings Heath, from Shutlock Lane off Dad's Lane (leading to a car park), from Moor Green Lane in Moseley and at the gatehouse to Highbury Hall on Yew Tree Road.

History of the Park

Highbury Park has a rich history, containing evidence from the bronze age right through to the present day.

It was formerly the estate of Joseph Chamberlain, who lived at Highbury Hall from 1880 until his death in 1914.  It was named after the London suburb where Joseph Chamberlain grew up.

Highbury Park was created in 1930. Joseph Chamberlain had bequeathed the park to the people of Birmingham before his death in 1914, although the park didn't open to the public until several years after his death.

The original entrance drive to Highbury Hall was from the gates on Yew Tree Road (near Moor Green Lane) built in the 1870s. A lodge was built around the same time in 1880. This is now a private residence, but you can walk past it, in and out of the park. Trees beyond here now cover where the drive used to continue to the hall.

Chamberlain's Gardens

This is an on going project to restore the gardens that used to be around Highbury Hall in Joseph Chamberlain's time there. You can walk around them, and make your way to the back of Highbury Hall. Part of it was a Kitchen Garden.

Kings Heath Station - changes

As of Winter 2022-23, there is a new temporary tarmaced path from the Kings Heath High Street, as the site of Kings Heath Station has taken over the part of the park to the left of it. Part of the short brick wall was removed to create a new opening to the parks main entrance.

Highbury Hall is a wonderful Grade II listed building that nestles in Highbury Park. It was built in 1879 by J H Chamberlain for Joseph Chamberlain (no relation). Joseph Chamberlain lived here from 1880 until 1914.

A sunny day in May at Highbury Park and Highbury Hall

Post image

The first time back to Highbury Park since lockdown started (and this part of Moseley & Kings Heath). Starting from the Gatehouse near Moor Green Lane, the walk around the back during May 2020, via the gardens of Highbury Hall, before heading to the Dads Lane exit (to walk up to Kings Heath Park and back). Then taking the grass path back to the starting point.

A sunny day in May at Highbury Park and Highbury Hall





The first time back to Highbury Park since lockdown started (and this part of Moseley & Kings Heath). Starting from the Gatehouse near Moor Green Lane, the walk around the back during May 2020, via the gardens of Highbury Hall, before heading to the Dads Lane exit (to walk up to Kings Heath Park and back). Then taking the grass path back to the starting point.


For my last Highbury Park post go to this link here: Highbury Park through the seasons and the years between Kings Heath and Moseley

Thank you Joseph Chamberlain for leaving your estate as open parkland after your death in 1914 for members of the public to enjoy. Also thanks to the Chamberlain Highbury Trust for maintaining Highbury Hall and the park, and hope they can continue to do so.

 

This visit was on Thursday 21st May 2020, in the afternoon.

Highbury Park

Starting at the Gatehouse near Moor Green Lane and Yew Tree Lane we followed the path amongst the trees into the park.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

I found an old bricked pathway surrounded by trees, so took this route. Don't recall going down here before.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

You can imagine this once being part of Joseph Chamberlain's gardens with colourful flowers, but it now just has green trees, shrubs and bushes.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Back onto the main path heading past the Long Pond.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (4).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Took a side path round the back of the Long Pond. Was some baby ducklings in there! How cute.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

There was a lot of long grass, especially where cow parsley was growing, but most of the lawns were cut short.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (6).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Now on the path towards Dads Lane. But there was a lot of litter on the ground near the bin. Can people either take their litter home, or properly bin their waste? I also noticed that the car park near the Dads Lane entrance was in use.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (7).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

At the Dads Lane exit / entrance near Shutlock Lane before the walk towards Kings Heath Park. The gate was open here as the car park was open.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (8).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

After returning from Kings Heath Park, wanted to take the fastest route back to the starting point, and noticed this grass path cut amongst the long grass so took it.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (9).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Continuing along the grass path back towards the Gatehouse. The park looks lovely this time of year.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (May 2020) (10).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Highbury Hall

During the lockdown / pandemic, Highbury Hall has been closed. But Chamberlain's Gardens from Highbury Park was open, so we had a walk round to the back of the house. Saw some people sunbathing on the lawn!

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Hall (May 2020) (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The hall looks to be in good condition here, although the hall is being restored inside at the time. The hall was built in 1878-79 for Joseph Chamberlain.

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Hall (May 2020) (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Heading round to the left side of Highbury Hall. Got a nice shadow on this side.

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Hall (May 2020) (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The main entrance of Highbury Hall. The car park was empty and the gate locked.

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Hall (May 2020) (4).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Zoomed up to this stone with the 1879 date from when it was first built.

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Hall (May 2020) (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

But I remembered that Highbury Hall had scaffolding and didn't see any until I zoomed towards the right side of the hall.

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Hall (May 2020) (6).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Some of my photos from the September 2018 Open Day are in this post: Inspirational day at Highbury Hall - well done Trustees and Volunteers of Chamberlain Highbury Trust!

Chamberlain's Gardens

Now for a look around Chamberlain's Gardens at Highbury Park & Hall. I was last around here during the September 2018 Open Day (see the Highbury Park gallery for those photos).

Head through these triangular sticks towards Highbury Hall.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Found a bog with algae on it, and a robin (before it flew away!).

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The footbridge towards Highbury Hall.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

After a look again at the back of Highbury Hall, taking a path back into the park. This tree had fallen over. Also got to be careful with the roots of trees sticking out of some paths.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (4).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The trees continue as there was a fence around the site of Chamberlain House.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Children were playing with their parents in these woods near Highbury Hall.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (6).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Trees lining the fence near Chamberlain House.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (7).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Got to this area with yarn bombing around trees and multicoloured bunting.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (8).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Some of these yarn bombing looked like spider webs or dartboards!

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (9).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Heading back through the Vegetable Garden then back into Highbury Park.

dndimg alt="Chamberlain's Gardens" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Chamberlains Gardens Highbury Hall (May 2020) (10).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

If we can't get to stately homes in the Shire counties and their wonderful parks and gardens, then we can still get to the local parks that were formerly estates with a house (without going into the house of course).

Highbury Park through the seasons and the years between Kings Heath and Moseley

Post image

I first started getting photos of Highbury Park near Kings Heath and Moseley 10 years ago in December 2009. First proper venture into the park when it was all covered in snow to see Highbury Hall. The park was originally the grounds of the home of Joseph Chamberlain. He gave the park to the city before his death in 1914 and the park opened to the public in 1930.

Highbury Park through the seasons and the years between Kings Heath and Moseley





I first started getting photos of Highbury Park near Kings Heath and Moseley 10 years ago in December 2009. First proper venture into the park when it was all covered in snow to see Highbury Hall. The park was originally the grounds of the home of Joseph Chamberlain. He gave the park to the city before his death in 1914 and the park opened to the public in 1930.


Highbury Park on Wikipedia. The park is the estate of Highbury Hall which was the former home of Joseph Chamberlain. Once the Mayor of Birmingham in the late 19th Century. He was later an MP. The hall is near the north east corner of the park on Yew Tree Road in Moseley (in the Moor Green area). Before he died he bequeathed the park to the people of Birmingham. The park finally opened to the public in 1930.

The Camp Hill Line is to the south of the park. Hopefully in a few years, Kings Heath Station will be rebuilt close to where The Gym and Homebase are now at the Findlay Road Retail Park.

The main entrance of the park is on the High Street in Kings Heath, close to Queensbridge Road. If you are coming from Kings Heath Park, you can also enter Highbury Park from Dad's Lane, in an entrance on Shutlock Lane. The other entrances and exits are on Moor Green Lane, and near the gatehouse lodge close to Yew Tree Road.

From here you can then walk towards Cannon Hill Park, either down Russell Road or head down Moor Green Lane and enter on Brockley Grove onto the Holders Lane Woods.

 

OK back to Highbury Park.

 

December 2009

The first time I got photos of Highbury Park was from early December 2009 from the High Street in Kings Heath, but I did not enter the park at this time as I wasn't ready. I probably headed up Queensbridge Road at the time.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (Dec 2009) no snow (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

The path down into the park. I would return a few weeks later after it had snowed.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (Dec 2009) no snow (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

About 4 days before Xmas Day I headed to the park, this time for an actual walk around. Back to the High Street, Kings Heath entrance (at this point hadn't used the other entrances). A bike near the caution sign.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park snow (December 2009 (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The old brick wall. It would later be fully repaired years later.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park snow (December 2009 (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

One of the ponds in the park. Totally frozen and iced over.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park snow (December 2009 (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The paths near Moor Green Lane and Shutlock Lane had a thin layer of snow over them. Evergreen trees behind trees that had shed their leaves.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park snow (December 2009 (7).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

I think the snow was completely frozen over the paths despite all the footprints and tyre marks from bikes. This path leads back to the old wall. The gardens of Highbury Hall are to the left of here.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park snow (December 2009 (10).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Near the entrance / exit to Moor Green Lane, close to Yew Tree Road is this gatehouse / lodge. Now a private residence. Built around 1880 as part of the original approach to Highbury Hall. Part of the drive is still present. But most of the route is now covered by trees. Now the only main entrance to Highbury Hall is on Yew Tree Road.

dndimg alt="Highbury Hall" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park lodge snow (Dec 2009).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

January 2015

The next major time I visited Highbury Park with my camera was when there was these outdoor musical instruments that people could play with (especially young kids). This one looked like a harp.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

A carved wooden bench.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Another wooden bench. Notice that they both have flowers carved into them.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (3).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Can you play? Can you play loud or quiet? - Dynamics. Can you play long or short notes? Duration. This is what it says on each one of these musical instruments.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (4).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

A bit closer up. Not really sure how they work.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (5).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

A wooden circle. Birmingham's very on "Stone Henge" or more like "Wood Henge" in Highbury Park.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (6).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Stone hall in a triangular piece of stone. Again not fully sure what you are supposed to do with this, maybe say something through the hole and another person may hear you?

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park outdoor instruments (Jan 2015) (7).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

August 2018

Heading down Dad's Lane towards the Shutlock Lane entrane of the park. Saw this National Express West Midlands single decker bus on the 27 bus route. It would also pass Kings Heath Park.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Saw a Land Rover Series II in the car park.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Mocha Moo Cafe was at The Great Big Pet Picnic. Here people could get food and drink while with their pets in this field.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The leaves were lush and green in the middle of August 2018. And the ponds made some nice reflections and ripples.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (4) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The pond is also known as the Fish Pond. Many birds are to be seen around here.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (5) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Saw this heron pirched on a branches of a tree that was over the pond.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (6) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Trees in a wood and early signs of the autumn to come.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (8) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Almost the middle of August, and leaves were already falling off trees, and it wasn't yet September!

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (9) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Yet the leaves on the trees were still green. Apart from the leaves that had already fallen.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2018) (10).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

August 2019

Heading round the back of the old brick wall. Now fully restored, after part of it was damaged. Signs of graffiti, but faint.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (2) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Getting closer to the wall. Trees all full of green leaves at this point. This was near the end of August 2019.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (3) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Here you can see evidence of the brick wall repairs. Looking as good as new.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (4) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

A grass path amongst the trees. I didn't head up this one.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Reflections in the pond. Leaves still lush and green before autumn came.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (6) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

A Common moorhen seen in the Fish Pond. The odd leaf had fallen into the pond. And the fishes are just about visible close to the surface. At least I think they are fishes!

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (7) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Several flower beds with roses. Close to the Shutlock Lane and Moor Green Lane exit.

dndimg alt="Highbury Park" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Highbury Park (August 2019) (9) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

After this I headed down Moor Green Lane and went into Cannon Hill Park via the Holders Lane Woods. In late summer, there is usually a fun fair on the fairground in Cannon Hill Park, which I saw on my walk towards Edgbaston Road. You can even start your three parks walk in Kings Heath Park and walk through Highbury Park and then into Cannon Hill Park. Ending up near the Cricket Ground.
