Brook Farm Walk, Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
Probably planned in the late 1960s, the estate has a variety of dwelling types and many small greenspaces with trees that are now mature. The place feels like a reasonably spacious leafy suburb.

October 2017 – something is planned: there's Héras fencing in front of the buildings, left. By mid-March 2018 this had become a construction site.

Not a motorway to be seen
A small BMX-jump park on a recreation field at the edge of the housing estate. This is one of only a couple of photos in this square that DON'T feature the M42 or the M6. Or both.

The eastern edge of Chelmsley Wood
The very end of Yorkminster Drive (foreground) is quite rural in character, with a park on the left and agricultural land on the right. However, it is one of the distributor roads serving the eastern end of the colossal Chelmsley Wood housing estate; two of the tower blocks near the middle of the estate can be glimpsed in the distance on the left.

Cornfield Croft, Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
These are flats over garages (FOGs in the jargon), one of several dwelling types on the estate. From this and another image it can be deduced that there are four flats in two pairs, each pair served by one street door and stair. There are thirteen garages. The block of flats is Selwyn House off Waterson Croft. It is one of many in the wider area known as North Solihull, of which Chelmsley Wood is part, first appearing on an OS map of 1971.
