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.

Middle Witton Reservoir
The western-most of the two lakes near Short Heath, the other being Image, and the third being Image which was formerly known as Lower Witton Reservoir. All were created around the middle of the 19th century by the City Corporation to provide a water supply to Brum, at a time when the streams feeding them ran through clean agricultural land. When that ceased to be the case, the Victorians piped water into the city from mid Wales (the Elan Valley complex) and the old reservoirs are now a wildfowl reserve and boating amenity.

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
