The Swallows Nest (formerly The Fighting Cocks), 40 Bromsgrove Road There used to be a lot of pubs in Romsley, but most closed long ago. The Fighting Cocks was one of the few survivors, and some years ago was renamed The Swallows Nest. The building was originally a row of labourers' cottages, belonging to a long gone farm opposite. The cottages were knocked into one, to make the pub, and this was licensed in 1825. It seems however that there was a Fighting Cocks inn or pub in Romsley from at least the 16th century, but that presumably was on a different site. The present pub's cellar is said to be haunted by a former landlady.

St. Kenelm's Church Hall, Bromsgrove Road The church itself is not in the village, but one and a quarter miles away, in rural countryside. It seems there used to be a settlement around it long ago, called Kenelmstowe, but that has disappeared, apart from a farmhouse. In the modern village of Romsley, the church has this hall, which is used for various functions both by the church, and other organisations. What is particularly interesting about the building, is that it started life as a National School in the middle of the 19th century. In 1925/26 it was remodelled as a mission room, but later became the church hall.

Hillside Road One of the village's main residential roads, here seen from its junction with Dark Lane. There is some very nice housing in the village, and being so near to Birmingham, it is likely that most residents of working age commute to work in the Birmingham area.
