Busy road running around the boundary of housing estate. The flats visible in the distance, are at top end of Primrose Hill, close to mini-island and entrance to cemetery.

This fine house is much restored in recent years from a rather derelict state. Although not visible from this direction, the left wall and the rear both have extensive timber framing exposed, and the main construction of the house is of mid-to-late 15th century date. It was Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101076230-primrose-hill-farmhouse-kings-norton-ward#.YIgrs7VKhPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1076230 in 1973, at which time it was investigated by English Heritage, who found timbers dated to the 1440s and soon thereafter. There is also a large barn just offshot to the left here, of a similar vintage, and also recently converted to a dwelling.

Looking across rooftops of Gillmore Drive, from Longdales Road, Hawkesley. On the skyline, on left, is a church in King's Norton area, and just visible in the distance, the clock tower at Birmingham University. Further to right are the high rise buildings of the city centre.

The new entry to the Cemetery in Longdales Road.

The large barn here is probably not the main item of interest in this photo; rather more important is the barn seen at gable-end, which is timber framed beneath the 18th century brick cladding, and which dates from the late 17th century.
