Alvechurch Highway - Old Birmingham Road Junction
Image: © Roy Hughes Taken: 28 Dec 2008
Alvechurch Highway junction with Old Birmingham Road (B4096). This road leads to the entrance to the old Marlbrook Tip. The tip was originally a gravel pit and after the gravel ran out it was then used as a tip/landfill site. It was originally topped off in the early 1990s and left to return to nature. Later the site was bought and remedial work carried out, including repairing the culvert running alongside Marlbrook Lane. Plans have been approved to build a 9 hole golf course on the site. Work is currently on-going on this project.
