New estate near the River Cole, Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
The visible houses and flats are around Hawksworth Crescent. The line of trees below them marks a steep bank formed to lift the development out of the floodplain, mostly along the historic field boundary: see Image "Liable to flooding" says a pre-war map at the confluence of the Kingshurst Brook and the Cole. The view is from Bacon's End Bridge on the A452 Chester Road.

Floodbank near the River Cole, Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
Judging by the vegetation along the bank, it was formed mostly along the existing field boundary (a pragmatic guide to the extent of the floodplain). This part of the estate, around Hawksworth Crescent, marks the northern extremity of Chelmsley Wood. See Image

Bacon's End Bridge
The hamlet and farm at Bacon's End were located roughly at SP179879, a little way to the NNW of this point. The stone bridge seen here, which was incorporated into the modern concrete structure in the 1970s, dates back substantially to the 1760s, and was no doubt a replacement for an earlier bridge over the river. It was given a Grade II listing https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101076760-bacons-end-bridge-fordbridge#.WVZtBdQrLGg in 1976.

Subway under the M6, Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
Green Lane, a public footpath from Partridge Close, leads to Coleshill just over a kilometre away. The subway is reached through a staggered barrier about 1·8m (6 feet) high, making the height about 4m. The walls are a gallery of colourful graffiti; some of the designs are first-rate.

Subway under the M6
Constructed to allow pedestrians (and presumably farm traffic) access along the footpath that runs from Bacon's End to Coleshill. The iron railings across the path make it 'entertaining' to get a mountain bike through the gateway - basically you need to climb up on top of a set of sharp spikes, and lift the bike 8 feet into the air above you. Such fun.
