Wyrley Birch
The housing blocks of Wyrley Birch are visible throughout the surrounding area but this was the first time I'd found the road that goes right up to them. It's often cited as a "problem estate" and maybe its inaccessibility is part of the problem. But it's in a nice location; behind me when I took this shot were the lakes and park.

Mass subsidence, Witton Cemetery
Subsidence of graves is common in burial grounds but it is surprising to see it in relatively recent graves. These memorials are typical of the 1920-1950 era: rather divan-like with kerbs around the grave and a short rectangular headstone, sometimes with an Art Deco flavour. Perhaps after the First World War stone was dear: in short supply because the numbers of stonemasons and quarrymen had been reduced by the war. Hence the smaller memorials, compared to Late Victorian and Edwardian styles, and reflecting a change of public taste.

OS benchmark - Upper Witton, cemetery wall
An OS cutmark on the wall of the Birmingham City (Witton) Cemetery; it's marked on the map of 1884, so fair to assume it was cut as part of the first Primary Levelling survey of England and Wales between 1840 & 1860. The height is given on the older maps as variously 374.3 feet, 374.7 feet and 374.8 feet above Liverpool Datum. There is another, very similar mark 440 yards north of here at Image
