Sunny California
These trees beside California Way, in the south of this square have now all but lost their leaves for the winter but still lend a splash of colour with the low angle of the sun.

Weoley Castle ruins
The castle, which dates from the 13th-15th centuries, was a fortified manor house owned by, among others, the barons of Dudley. The ruins are in disrepair (!) and closed to the public. The closest you can get is the two information boards visible in the photo, and even that area is closed on weekdays.

Alwold Road, Weoley Castle
Alwold Road is named after a Saxon Chieftain who held land in this area. No doubt, in conferring this name, Birmingham Corporation was mindful of the medieval association with Weoley Castle, the remains of which lie just north of the road. The 'castle' was in fact a fortified manor house and the way land rises immediately to the south is an indication that this was not intended to be a truly defensive location. Land surrounding the castle was purchased by the Corporation in the 1930s for housing, built in the 'garden city' style very fashionable at the time.
