River Cole near Colehall, east Birmingham
The River Cole runs through Birmingham's eastern and southeastern suburbs. The floodplain doubles as extensive public open space. Here the flood-prone area is left to nature while, beyond the trees, the ground rises to playing fields and informal open space. The view is from the bridge at the meeting of Packington Avenue and Lea Ford Road.
