The lich gate at St. Lawrence's
Church was erected by the Owen family as a memorial to
Alfred Ernest Owen, one of the founders of Rubery Owen.
The seats alongside the lich gate are
dedicated to the late George Harry Buckley who was private
secretary to Alfred Ernest Owen, and a personal friend. |

The new development in Broadwaters
Road in 1965. Broadwaters was
