14-storey blocks of flats overlooking the River Cole, Bacon's End, east Birmingham
Westham House, left, and Wedgewood House form one of the many pairs of tower blocks on the North Solihull skyline. The white and grey colouring makes them seem less substantial. No cladding in sight, only concrete. A successful balance has been struck between landscaped open space, lots of it, for people, and more naturalistic management of the river corridor: http://www.solihull.gov.uk/Portals/0/StrategiesPlansPolicies/LandscapeandEcology/Nature_Conservation_Strategy.pdf pages 8-9.

Stepping stones across the River Cole near Bacon's End, east Birmingham
400 metres or so downstream from Bacon's End Bridge and not shown on the 1:25 000 map. It has to be assumed that this is public open space although it's very informal. A streetlamp upper left is on the Chester Road A452.

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
