Forhill House, Forhill, from Lea End Lane
Forhill* House was a City of Birmingham remand home for boys in the period 1945-1987. The approach at Forhill and elsewhere was experimental and observational: "the idea was that the home would be used more as an opportunity to try to work out why the child’s behaviours had arisen rather than as a place of punishment." A history may be found at http://www.search.connectinghistories.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault.asp&records=871&resource=1663 If demolition of buildings has taken place aerial photos show no sign of it: it appears as a secluded residential development. Estate agents refer to the site as Forhill Manor, a development of 42 houses and flats. Forhill House appears now to be called Forhill Court.

Old pit by Lea End Lane, below Forhill
There are many disused pits in this landscape, perhaps dug for clay for brickmaking as the Arden forest was gradually cleared and colonised.
