Shard End Lake, Shard End, east Birmingham
The mast to the right of the flats belongs to the Sea Cadets at the T.S. Stirling off Pithall Road. The site adjoins the Norman Chamberlain Recreation Ground, itself part of the extensive Kingfisher Country Park along the River Cole. On a map of 1938 Shard End is a typical Arden hamlet around a couple of farms. By 1951 the Shard End estate has been built; the lake is labelled 'Old Gravel Pit', perhaps dug in the war years.

The Shard End lake
A fishing pool on the north side of the Norman Chamberlain playing fields. And, on the day of my visit, a place for one of the local yoofs to rag a two-stroke dirt bike up and down on the grass.; he was not improving the turf one jot.

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.
