About Olton Rail Station
Olton is a suburban village within the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the West Midlands, England. Originally known as Ulverlei, the lords of the manor moved their seat in the 13th century and formed a new settlement, at the junction of two major roads. It was then that the name 'Oulton' began to be used to distinguish the village from nearby Solihull. Historically within the county of Warwickshire, the village has gradually become contiguous with Solihull to the southeast and Birmingham to the northwest, though it retains the character of a large independent village.
