The abattoir is based in Solihull lodge and was used as a slaughterhouse for the butchers which is now many years later still in business. It originally gained approval for demolition and replacement bungalow. The new owners thought that harsh as the building had some special features worth preserving. It has been extended, renovated and is now on track for being a x2 storey family home with vaulted ceilings and a brick built courtyard to frontage and large garden to the rear. Construction is almost complete.
