Standing at the junction of the Lichfield Road with Park Lane and Rocky Lane was the medieval Aston Cross. It's origins and purpose are unknown, but it may have served as a preaching cross. By the 19th century it had decayed to a mere stump and its remnants were transferred to Aston churchyard in 1854; they are now inside the church. A clock tower was erected on the site of the cross to replace it. Standing three storeys high the tower was built of brick in the Jacobean style of Aston Hall. However, by 1891 with the clock notoriously unreliable and the tower unstable, it was demolished and replaced by the present Aston Cross clock. This is set in a square cast-iron tower which is emblazoned with the Aston Board's coat-of-arms and a plaque commemorating the gift of the new clock by Lewis Richards, the chairman of Board. At the south-east corner of this same road junction had been the medieval pinfold where stray farm animals could be reclaimed on payment of a fine. Both the pinfold and the preaching cross stood not only in a prominent place within the manor of Aston, but on the Lichfield Road, part of a route known from medieval times as 'one of the four great roads of England'; it had linked Bristol with the north-east of England from the Roman period. But William Hutton, Birmingham's first historian, wrote critically in 1781 of the state of this highway: One mile from Birmingham, upon the Lichfield Road, sixteen miles, to the disgrace of the community, is yet a river without a bridge.
