This patch of wasteland is bordered by Tamworth Road, St Johns Street and Clumber Street (from where this was taken) The Brooklands Junior School which stood here was closed some years ago, then very suddenly it was demolished in 2005 - to much local protests. The owners of the site had intentions of building apartments on the site but had no planning permission to do so and since then the ground has lain waste. They probably got a tidy sum for the bricks though! Plans were submitted in July 2008 to build 18 new properties on the site.
