About Olton
Olton is a village. Location: Bickenhill, Solihull. Population: 12,167. Elevation: 124 m.
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' (meaning 'old town') began to be used to distinguish the village from nearby Solihull.
