Gannow Green

Gannow Green is an area of the city of Birmingham, England, having been transferred to Birmingham from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire in 1995. It is located just north of Rubery and is part of the civil parish of New Frankley, which was created in 2000.
Its name was used in the title of a statute under George III, seventh year, number 81, "An Act for repairing and widening the Road from the Turnpike Road at Hatton, near the borough of Warwick, through King's Norton, in the County of Worcester; and to the upper End of Gannow Green, in the Parish of Bromsgrove, and to the Bell Inn, in the parish of Bell Broughton, in the said County of Worcester.".
It has a medieval moated site, protected as a scheduled monument since 1962 and described by the Birmingham and Warwickshire Archaeological Society as "well preserved".
