The history of this truly historic and timeless estate:

The Austin Village was erected in 1917 by the Austin Motor Company, to accommodate the rise in the workforce of the Austin motor plant in Longbridge, Birmingham during The First World War. The cedar wood house kits (bungalows) were purchased from The Aladdin Company of Bay City, Michigan, USA. In addition to the bungalows, twenty-five conventional brick-built semi-detached houses were erected at intervals to create firebreaks.

During the 20th Century, the feeling that the village was a unique and special place became stronger and was celebrated through regular street fetes, parties and village newsletters. The Austin Village Preservation Society formed in 1990, to promote “neighbourly spirit and togetherness”, as well as acting in the best interests of residents. In 1997, after much hard work, they achieved conservation status for the Village. 

Walk around The Austin Village today and you immediately feel a sense of its uniqueness, with its tree-lined avenues (and even a short dual carriageway) and an ambience that is at once that of an English country village and the American Midwest. The species of trees planted along its streets are echoed in many of the street names - Laburnum, Maple, Rowan, Cedar.
