Description The conservation area was designated on 25 June 1987 and extended on 31 July 2009. It comprises an area of . It is centred on Oxford Road and St Agnes' Church, Moseley.
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 along the Alcester Road 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 J. Brewin Holmes.
