Firs estate-site of demolished tower blocks
Just visible to the right of the photo is the elevated M6 motorway at Castle Bromwich, this is the extreme northern extent of the Firs estate. The overgrown roadway is all that is left of the site of what used to be a cluster of five 8-storey tower blocks, each with 32 flats; they were named Oregon, Lebanon, Douglas, Spruce & Sylvester house. Built in 1958, in a seemingly ill-advised area, rather too near to the flood-prone River Tame, which runs more or less parallel with the M6, the area is quite low-lying and very damp. The damp/flooding problem wasn't addressed when the site was built and this caused such severe rising damp in the tower blocks that Birmingham City council were unable to rent the ground floor flats for many years; there was also a problem with subsidence so the decision was taken to demolish all five tower blocks and some ordinary houses that occupied the same low-lying land in 2002, this waste land is so overgrown now that it gives little clue to its former usage, apart from the apparently random and winding tarmacadam that used to surround the tower blocks.

Wild marshy Castle Bromwich
Below the gardens of Castle Bromwich Hall is an area of land left to the wilds of nature. Here there is still a stream and areas of water (on OS Map too) that is covered with bulrushes.
