River Cole below Bacon's End Bridge, Bacon's End, east Birmingham
Note the gravelly soil. Walks and open spaces by the Cole extend for several miles. Bacon's End Bridge carries Moorend Avenue – evocative name – between the A452 Chester Road and Chelmsley Wood shopping centre Image

River Cole in Chelmsley Wood
Apart from the fact that you're standing on a dual carriageway bridge, you'd hardly know it was a city-scape.

Funeral Directors - not a church
A disused & presumably deconsecrated church, from which William H Painter, the local funeral director and monumental mason business, is now operating.

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.

A452 Chester Road heads for Chelmsley Wood, east Birmingham
The view is from the northwest side of Bacon's End Bridge. This carriageway is supported by an old three-arched sandstone bridge; the other carriageway by a concrete extension first shown on a map for this location of 1973.

Boardwalk, Meriden Park, Bacon?s End, east Birmingham
A sign nearby explains that the boardwalk was constructed to allow easy access by a scrape and lessen human impact. The scrape was a piece of habitat creation – a shallow excavation with a high water table to support a range of plants, animals and insects. There is no evidence of it, only grasses, nettles and alder seedlings. The seed source is to the right: mixed oak and alder woodland identified as Chelmsley Wood, a local nature reserve of Solihull MBC. Plant dynamics rule!
