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

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.

Driving around in Witton Cemetery
Getting around by car in a cemetery always seems to me to be a bit disrespectful but, given the size of a place like Witton (105 acres/40 hectares), I suppose it's not unreasonable. After all, these big Victorian cemeteries were laid out for horse-drawn carriages, hearses and carts.
