Selly Park: a local guide
Selly Park takes its name from the park and estate of Selly Hall, a Tudor-style 19th century red brick stately home, which was sold to the Roman Catholic Church in 1864. Selly Park was developed in the parkland surrounding Selly Hall whilst the land to the west of the Pershore Road was developed in the nineteenth century, with roomy plots and tree-lined streets aimed at the middle and upper classes.
