Moseley Conservation Area
The Moseley Conservation Area is in Moseley, Birmingham.
Description
The conservation area was designated on 17 March 1983. It was extended on 12 November 1987 and 14 March 2005 and now comprises an area covering.The opening of Moseley railway station in 1867 started a property boom in Moseley, which was accelerated by the arrival of steam driven tramway services to Birmingham provided by the Birmingham Central Tramways Company Ltd which started operating on 29 December 1884. Moseley was an attractive location for the prosperous middle-classes, as it was situated south of Birmingham upwind of the industrial smoke of the city. The conservation area comprises a number of streets developed from the 1860s to the 1930s with a wide variety of architectural styles ranging from Victoria and Edwardian villas, and Arts and Crafts houses built by local architects such as William de Lacy Aherne and Owen Parsons.
