Facilities
The local library is Glebe Farm Library,[4] which was the first library to be built in Birmingham after World War II. It was constructed out of pre-fabricated concrete sections and took one year to build. On 22 April 1952 it was opened to the public by Alderman Ralph Yates, then Lord Mayor of Birmingham. The Glebe Farm Local History Society gather at the library once every month.
Shopping facilities are mainly provided at the Fox & Goose; however, many travel to nearby Stechford to shop.
