Benchmark on Brick Pillar in Trafalgar Road
This benchmark is cut into the blue bricks at the base of the pillar at the east end of the Creation Climbing Centre. It was verified by the Ordnance Survey in 1965 at 132.5667 metres above sea level. The Creation centre is a fantastic venue offering excellent indoor facilities for rock climbing and other activities like scooting and indoor caving. The building it occupies is shabby but in my opinion of great architectural merit and historic interest, having been built as a tram depot.

Victorian Pillar Box and Houses in Trafalgar Road
The northern end of Trafalgar Road boasts some fine Victorian houses and this VR-ciphered pillar box opposite Sarehole Mill Gardens. Unfortunately many of the properties have been subdivided and some are neglected. This group seems so far to have escaped serious disfigurement.

View eastward; ex-Midland Birmingham New St. etc.(left) - Kings Norton and the South (right) main line via Camp Hill. This line was the original main line from the south and has remained so for freight, but the local passenger service was withdrawn on 27/1/41, when this and other suburban stations were closed to passengers.

The former Tram Depot and West Mids Travel Engineering workshops
Now occupied by the rather splendid (yes, I've climbed here) Creation Indoor Climbing Wall, the former engineering workshop dates from 1906 when it was built as a tram depot for Birmingham Corporation Tramways. In the late 1940s, it was converted for use on bus repairs, and closed in the mid 1970s. Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101386758-old-tram-depot-west-midlands-travel-engineering-workshops-moseley-and-kings-heath-ward#.Xg2aE0f7RPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1386758 in 1999. There is an associated range of (currently disused) offices immediately in front of it
