Located where the Tudor beacons of old once stood, the castle is a monument to commemorate the gift of Beacon Hill to the people of Birmingham and Worcestershire. As one of the highest points for miles around was part of a historic network of beacons that would to signal the arrival of invading armies. It was used again during WWII by air raid wardens and the ROC to look out for enemy planes heading towards Birmingham and the nearby factories of Longbridge. The land was once part of a royal Hunting Reserve in the stewardship of the Manor of Bromsgrove. It was sold to the Cadbury (chocolate) family in 1907 who then passed it over to the City of Birmingham.
