Tower Blocks, Shirestone Road
These six Y-shaped housing blocks were built in 1951, a time of acute housing shortage, for Birmingham County Borough Council (according to Lynsey Hanley in 'Estates', they were the first high-rise council housing in Birmingham). Each block is of 6 storeys with 30 dwellings, so, 180 homes in total. They were built by Wimpey to their 'no-fines' method (concrete made from clinker with no fine aggregates). They were named after Midlands country towns: Banbury, Ledbury, Leominster, Monmouth (now in Wales), Redditch and Stafford. Ledbury House can be seen in the foreground.

Wildflower meadow by Tile Cross Road
Looking towards the bus terminus, where a bus can be seen, and the buildings at the junction of Tile Cross Road with St. Giles Road and Bell Lane. The wildflowers have been planted at the edge of a small park between St. Giles Road and Mackadown Lane. The flowers appear to be mainly corn marigolds (yellow) with some corn chamomile (white petals) and cornflower (blue); there were also some poppies also (not visible in the photo) - a typical 'cornfield wildflower' seed packet mixture.
