Footpath beside the River Cole and Forth Drive, Bacon?s End, east Birmingham
Overlooked by 14-storey Bangor House, right. Cook's Lane crosses the river, left of centre. The spacious layout of this estate has allowed many trees to develop their natural form and habit.

West through Babb's Mill Recreation Ground, Kingshurst, east Birmingham
In shadow, far left, is the River Cole. Behind the trees, right, is Fordbridge Road off which there is a free car park for the recreation ground, behind the camera. Seen between the trees is St Anthony's Catholic Primary School. The open space is also signed Babb's Mill Jubilee Park and Babb's Mill Local Nature Reserve. Poplars and willows planted for quick effect years ago are now in need of management.

Entrance to staff car park, Endeavour House, Fordbridge Road, Kingshurst
Endeavour House is home to Solihull Community Housing http://www.solihullcommunityhousing.org.uk From maps it would appear that it was formerly a school. The view is from the entrance to Babbs Mill Park.

A bend on Conway Road, Bacon?s End, east Birmingham
This pleasant development near the River Cole (among the trees) doesn't always get the respect it deserves from some residents (or flytippers). Blocks of flats on Forth Drive, Keele House and Bangor House, can be seen over the trees

The River Cole in Babb's Mill Recreation Ground, Kingshurst, east Birmingham
The view downstream is from the footbridge that is reached from Fordbridge Road. There are footpaths on each side of the river. A riffle shows that the Cole is flowing away from the camera. There is a gravelly beach in the foreground. Downstream a glimpse of brown soil suggests recent erosion on the outside of a bend.
