Solihull

Solihull (IPA: {{IPA|}}, or {{IPA|}}, or some combination of the two; occasionally {{IPA|}}) is a town in the West Midlands in England with a population of around 120,000. It is a part of the West Midlands conurbation and is located south-east of Birmingham. It is the largest town in, and headquarters of, the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. Residents of Solihull and those born in the town are referred to as Silhillians and past pupils of Solihull School are called Old Silhillians. The motto of Solihull is Urbs in Rure (the town in the country) although the late Headmaster of Tudor Grange Grammar School in Solihull, Mr A. R. Munday argued that it should more accurately be rendered as Urbs Rure - the word in not being required with the ablative case of Rure.
