I’ve been doing a little bit of research on the heritage of some of our properties in preparation for a new website we’re creating celebrating the heritage of our beloved Birmingham and I’ve discovered a few interesting and mysterious stories about our brand new project, Pype Hayes Hall in Erdington.
Pype Hayes Hall is a very historic building as shown above. Pype Hayes Hall is a grade II listed building located in Erdington, Birmingham. Pype Hayes Hall was originally a mansion that was owned by the Arden family and then the Bagot family. It was sold to the Birmingham City Council in the 1920’s who in turn used the historic location as a children’s home. Last year, UrbanWorkSpace owner Gerry Pountney bought Pype Hayes Hall.
The current owner, Gerald Pountney (pictured below) plans on not only redeveloping the location but also plans to turn Pype Hayes Hall into a 4 star luxury hotel featuring 60 bedrooms, a spa, swimming pools and much, much more.
It is another great location that has been added to an already impressive portfolio of buildings across Birmingham. Gerald Pountney owns property throughout Birmingham including 4 business centres and 2 pubs. Click here to view the completed and ongoing projects by Mr. Gerry Pountney including Pype Hayes.
Gerry has redeveloped both Steward Street Business Lofts in Ladywood and Branston Court located in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter which can be found by clicking here. With a successful history of redeveloping projects in Birmingham, Gerry Pountney is looking forward to completing the redevelopment and making Pype Hayes Hall a success as well!
The vision for the venue is also for Pype Hayes Hall to be able to host events. Gerald Manton (Gerry Pountney’s son) has stated that he plans on getting married at the famous hall to Sareena Jones once the redevelopment has been completed. It will be the perfect way to kick off this new era of Pype Hayes Hall.

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for getting in touch. I’ve passed your enquiry on to management who will be in touch soon.
Kind regards
I’ve always been fascinated with the history of this building.since I retired last year I’ve been able to spend more time enjoying my hobbies,one of which is metal detecting.would it be possible to search any grassy areas of the grounds? Any finds of interest would be shown to the owners.im sure given its history there must be items just waiting to be discovered!.
Can I contact the owner regarding photography?
Hi Stacie, if you wouldn’t mind dropping us an enquiry on our Contact Us page we can pass it on for you.
Thanks!
I spent my whole childhood growing up in Pype Hayes Hall as a child in care….I know all its nooks and crannies…..and where the underground entrance is to Aston Hall…..you’ll never find it….it takes the mind of a mischievous creative child wandering about on many night time adventures to discover the Halls true mysteries.
I spent part of my childhood at Pype Hayes HALL
Hi would it be possible to pass my details to someone about doing a paranormal investigation at the hall. I’ve tried to find your contact page without success
