It lies on the Westerly side of Harborne Park Road, which forms part of the A4040 road. HistoryThe park was historically the grounds of The Grove, an 18th-century Georgian house. One of Birmingham's first MPs, Thomas Attwood, lived at The Grove between 1823 and 1846. Attwood is immortalised in a bronze statue which formerly sat on the steps of Chamberlain Square, until the latter's redevelopment in 2017. The house was rebuilt in 1877–78, by John Henry Chamberlain for William Kenrick, a prominent Birmingham businessman and MP for Birmingham North.[1] Kenrick died at The Grove, aged 88 in 1919. The house and grounds were bequeathed to Birmingham City Council, the house was demolished in 1963, after which the grounds became a public space. A panelled anteroom of the drawing room at The Grove was saved from destruction and acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.[2] The room was used to display Kendrick's collection of blue and white ceramics.
