Cheddar Road and Calthorpe Park
The park was laid out in 1853, on land given by the Calthorpe family. The road and houses were built between 1889 and 1902, on the former route of the River Rea, after the river had been straightened and moved slightly west.

River Rea - artistic
The high retaining walls hiding the River Rea, between Calthorpe Park and Balsall Heath Road, are a canvas for graffiti artists, few people are likely to see.
The driftwood/rubbish hanging from the wall demonstrates perhaps a higher waterline at other times.
