All of the sites are in public open spaces or can be seen from public footpaths and most can easily be reached by public transport. The sites available to explore range from enigmatic prehistoric monuments and Roman roads through to the remains of medieval castles, deserted villages and World War II gun placements. Each guide includes: practical information about each site, a helpful map, and an illustrated tour. Links to additional sources of information about each site are given so that visitors can find out more about the sites if they wish to. The sites included on the BWAS on-line web site are just a tiny selection of the vast wealth of archaeological sites that are known to exist in the Birmingham and Warwickshire area and more will be added if sufficient interest is shown. https://bwas-online.co.uk/home/see-it-for-free/ Left: Handsworth anti-aircraft gun emplacements Right: Brinklow motte and bailey CBAWM grant recipient 2017 Birmingham and Warwickshire Archaeological Society: The castle at Castle Bromwich CBAWM has provided a grant to the Birmingham and Warwickshire Archaeological Society to help fund the preparation of drawings for a report on the excavation of a motte and bailey castle at Castle Bromwich for publication in the Society’s Transactions. The report is being written from records and finds held by Birmingham Museums Trust. The excavation took place from 1969-70, in advance of construction of a collector road at Junction 5 of the M6 motorway. It showed that the motte was constructed on top of a ringwork or an earlier phase of the motte, which itself succeeded an undated palisaded enclosure. There were also prehistoric worked flints, possible prehistoric pits, Roman pottery and pits, and a possible Roman building under the bailey rampart. The castle was probably constructed during the twelfth century and initially consisted of a motte with a small bailey to its east and south which was later enlarged. The excavations revealed remains of a timber structure on the motte, timber buildings and other features of probable medieval date in the bailey interior and timber features forming an entrance to the bailey. In the seventeenth century two buildings were constructed in the former bailey, one of which was demolished during the eighteenth century when the motte was incorporated into the landscape of Castle Bromwich Hall and approached along an avenue. The results of the Castle Bromwich excavation are enhanced by other research on the Honor of Dudley and castles within it, and publication of the report meets a specific aim of the medieval part of the West Midlands Regional Archaeological Research Framework. The report also considers the castle in its local medieval and post-medieval context, particularly in relation to documentary research and excavation at the nearby Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens. Mike Hodder For information on lecture meetings of the Birmingham and Warwickshire Archaeological Society https://bwas-online.co.uk/home/lectures/ KGV: In search of prehistoric Wednesfield A resistivity survey was undertaken on a section of King George V (KGV) playing field near the western edge on the higher ground to try and locate North Low Barrow, postulated as a possible Bronze Age Round Barrow, which is documented in HER352. The results of the geophysics identified a sub-circular feature which measured approximately 20m x 16m. A magnetometer survey and also Lidar of the playing field mirrored the large feature. An excavation took place over three days (9th, 10th and 11th June 2017) when two trenches were dug, one to investigate the features identified in the geophysics, and one to extend the investigation from test pitting in 2016. Members of Wolverhampton Archaeology Group, students, and volunteers took part, either by excavating or providing information about the dig to the community who came to watch. Local community police were on site to offer support and demonstrated a great deal of interest in the dig. KGV: In search of prehistoric Wednesfield A possible ditch and a concentration of cobbles was identified in Trench 1. Trench 2 revealed possible post holes and a beautiful worked flint tool of Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. Work is continuing on analysis of the finds and on the report. The dig was a great success! WAG would like to thank Wolverhampton City Council for permission to excavate and all who took part. This project was made possible [in part] by a grant from the Council for British Archaeology’s Mick Aston Archaeology Fund, which is supported by Historic England. Eileen Matthews Walking through time, Sutton Park The Friends of Sutton Park Association and the Sutton Coldfield Civic Society have created six self-guided walking trails to explain some of the many well- preserved archaeological remains. Each trail starts at a gate or car park with an explanatory panel, and markers indicate individual sites along the route. The trails include prehistoric burnt mounds, a Roman road, the boundary and subdivisions of the medieval deer park, fishponds, wood boundaries, sawpits, millpools, a former racecourse and golf course, military practice trenches and targets, and a nineteenth-century estate, a railway and buildings. A map of the trails is obtainable at Sutton Park Visitor Centre, near Town Gate. http://fospa.org.uk/ Lost Landscapes of Worcestershire Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service and Museums Worcestershire have been awarded £74,900 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to bring the Lost Landscapes of Worcestershire back to life. Over the next 18 months we will be delivering events and exhibitions celebrating over half a million years of the area's prehistory, from the time our ancestors arrived until the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago. The project will culminate in exhibitions in The Hive and Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum in summer 2018, alongside an exciting programme of education, research and exploration. The match-funding of £1000 from CBA WM is allowing the project to hold training workshops for metal detectorists across the region in the autumn of 2017. Many of the Palaeolithic artefacts found in this area have been spotted on the surface by fieldwalkers. Detectorists are keen eyes on the ground, but Palaeolithic artefacts are notoriously difficult to identify. The training, organised in partnership with the Portable Antiquities Scheme will equip detectorists with the skills to recognise Palaeolithic and other prehistoric stone tools, and help them learn more about this fascinating period in the West Midlands. Emma Hancox An evaluative excavation at Frogmore Hall, Atcham, Shropshire by Roger White and Janine Young In June 2017, an evaluation was carried out under the joint aegis of the National Trust (as landowners) and the Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Birmingham. The site was the Scheduled Monument at Frogmore Hall, Atcham - identified from aerial photography, and believed to be the site of a possible Saxon Palace.

  • A History of Castle Vale
    A HISTORY OF CASTLE VALE By Geoff Bateson INTRODUCTION Castle Vale is a modern housing area on the north-eastern edge of Birmingham. It is unique in many ways and has gone through distinct sets of changes. The things that most people noticed on their first visit to the area, when it was first built as a housing estate, was the flat and open landscape and the very distinct boundaries which seemed to almost cut Castle Vale off from the rest of the city to make a little island of people. These features have recently been changed, and will continue to change into the future, but each change is dictated by past developments. To understand what an area is like now, it is important to understand its history. The history of the Castle Vale area can be traced backwards, layer by layer and then built up again as a sequential record of those things that made the area what it was at each stage of its development. This booklet follows the changing fortunes of the small area of land known as Castle Vale from its beginnings as a swampy forest, through the feudal times of battling barons, through the growing industrialisation of Birmingham to the First World War, on through its life as an airfield, finally to the construction of the modern housing estate and the very recent improvements to that area. From time to time little excursions will be taken into the wider history of the region but only in order to set the very local events within their wider setting and make them even more interesting than they already are.

    PLACE BASED NEEDS ASSESSMENT RUGBY RURAL NORTH Warwickshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment March 2020 REPORT DETAILS Lead Duncan Vernon, Associate Director of Public Health Sponsor(s) Cllr Sally Bragg Insight Analyst/ main author Thomas Kane, Business Intelligence, WCC Acknowledgements Thank you to everyone who contributed to the content of this report, including participants of the Steering Group, the stakeholders who attended various community engagement events and those at WCC and externally who have provided data. Date published August 2020 Please note that the research for this report took place prior to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Although the report refers to long standing health and wellbeing issues which have and will continue to impact upon residents, we would encourage you to read them alongside the COVID-19 Health Impact Assessment which is available on the Warwickshire JSNA webpage (from July 2020). This assessment identifies key health and wellbeing indicators that have been affected by the Coronavirus outbreak. The pandemic has, and will continue to have, direct and indirect impacts on individuals and communities across Warwickshire. Some who suffered from COVID- 19 illness are facing a period of recovery of unknown trajectory. Many of those who lost loved ones during the pandemic are having to grieve without having been able to say goodbye, or to be close to others while they grieve. Additionally, economic and mental health impacts are already being felt as a result of the pandemic response, with these impacts disproportionately affecting people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Groups and those with lower incomes, who have often been at the frontline of the response in essential worker roles.

HON. NICHOLAS RIDLEY MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT INTRODUCTION 1. In a letter dated 31 December 1979, Birmingham City Council requested us to undertake a review of their boundary with Solihull Metropolitaneorough in the vicinity of Kingsleigh Drive, Castle. Bromwich. The request resulted from a petition to the City Council from residents of the Birmingham part of Kingsleigh Drive requesting the Council to apply to us to move the Birmingham boundary to the A452, thereby bringing the whole of Kingsleigh Drive into Solihull. 2. We ascertained that the West Midlands County Council supported Birmingham City Council's request for a review in this area. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council fully supported the review and felt that the boundary should'-be- moved to the M6 Motorway, the north-bound exit road at Junction 5 and the Newport Road, which they considered was the most obvious boundary between the two districts. 3. We examined the City Council's request in the light of section 48(5) of the T-T:II Government Act 1972. We concluded that although all three councils had agreed upon the need for a review it was desirable to have an agreed scheme from the two district authorities, if possible.
