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.

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.

Footpaths near the A452 Chester Road, Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
It is believed that there was once a subway here for residents north of the A452 to reach shops and schools but it was blocked up. Currently there is a light-controlled pedestrian crossing which mum and children are heading for.
