Warwickshire emblems, Ulverley School gates, Rodney Road, Olton
Solihull Borough was part of the now defunct West Midlands County. This tablet shows that the school was built when Solihull was part of Warwickshire. The best known of the elements are the bear and ragged staff (the modern version omits the chain) and the motto NON SANZ DROICT: not without right.

Public footpath, Lode Lane, Solihull
The path runs from Lode Lane to Tanhouse Farm Road and Elmdon Park. It skirts the fenced-off northern side of the Jaguar Land Rover site, one entrance to which can be seen to the right of the fence post. Fenced-off suburban gardens hem the path in on the other side, too. The OS Six Inch 1888-1913 map shows a path running from Lode Lane to the school in Elmdon Park near Elmdon Hall https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=52.44531&lon=-1.76364&layers=6&right=osm . The first section of the modern path follows this one, but it then turns to the left and follows long-lost field boundaries.

Lode Mill Court flats, Lode Lane, Olton
Shows a distinct stylistic similarity to my own house so I guess it dates from the 1960s.
