Eachelhurst Road
View of road, in direction of Plants Brook as it crosses under in direction of the nature reserve. Notice the brick wall to the right of the bus - this is the direction the brook takes and runs where the trees are to the right. There is a distinct break between housing where the brook runs.

The Plants Brook in Pype Hayes
The steel and concrete construction in the foreground is a 'sump' for the brook, which has been engineered to flow underground all the rest of the way to its confluence with the Tame. It previously ran just north of the cluster of reservoirs east of here Image, then turned south through farmland west of Minworth, to join the Tame near Castle Bromwich; however it was being messed about with even by the late 19th century, as the 1889 maps suggests it had been diverted to allow the construction of the railways. The Castle Vale housing estate now occupies much of the land through which it formerly flowed, and the brook barely surfaces any more.

Road bridge / river culvert, Eachelhurst Road
Plants brook reaches Eachelhurst Road along boundary of Pype Hayes Park.
These extensive gates and railings prevent blockages /floods and unwanted access beneath the road. The river then continues into the nature reserve on the opposite side of the road.
