English: Silhill Hall Site Some of the six houses that are now built on the site of the old Silhill Hall.
Silhill Hall (also known as Solihull Hall) was demolished illegally in the spring of 1966, the owner using the unsatisfactory excuse that a violent storm had made the structure unsafe. As the oldest domestic building in the borough, dating back to the 13th-14th centuries, its destruction was a great loss. Pevsner's Warwickshire, published in 1966 just before the demolition, describes both Soane's gatehouse and Silhill Hall on p. 402 and includes a photo of the gatehouse. There are two photos of Silhill Hall in a book by Susan Bell, Joy Woodhouse and Molly Varley "Solihull as it was" published by Solihull Libraries in 1980.
