  • 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.

  • Birmingham Botany Collections the Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall
    Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Edited by Phil Watson and Emily Gough © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 October 2014 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall Introduction A brief biography of Bagnall (1830-1918) was given in Birmingham Botany Collections – Mosses (http://www.bmag.org.uk/uploads/fck/file/BBC%20Mosses.pdf ) and there is no need to repeat this here except to reiterate that he was Birmingham’s greatest botanist whose passion was driven by the compilation of his The Flora of Warwickshire (Gurney & Jackson, London and Cornish Brothers, Birmingham, 1891) and, subsequently, The Flora of Staffordshire which was published as a supplement to the Journal of Botany 39 (West, Newman & Co, London 1901). He presented his herbarium in its entirety to Birmingham Museum in 1913. This included 4570 specimens of mosses, 700 liverworts and 180 lichens all of which have already been published in the respective fascicles of Birmingham Botany Collections . The present fascicle covers his collection of vascular plants and contains a little over 6400 specimens. Of these he collected almost 3700 (57%) himself. The remaining 43% (just over 2750 specimens) were collected and passed on to Bagnall by a whole range of different people from across the country. Of these the most prolific was A. Ley who supplied almost 200 items. Only 135 specimens (a mere 2%) have no collector recorded for them and 72 of these are from Warwickshire, Staffordshire or Worcestershire so could well have been collected by Bagnall himself.

Cllr Allan confirmed that these were privately owned by the Gracechurch Centre and that he would raise Mr Willis’ concerns direct with them.

  • A Cut Around Sutton Coldfield
    A CUT AROUND SUTTON COLDFIELD D J Redwood A Cut Around Sutton Coldfield Stories of the Birmingham & Fazeley canal from Dunton to Minworth Introduction In 2014 personal interests in canals, family and local history came together during a quest for a new research paper. In examining the 1841 Census for unusual occupations in Sutton Coldfield, I noticed some entries that indicated canal based employment. From this small amount of information, I set out to discover what happened to some of the families who lived alongside the ‘Cut’ on the southern boundary of the Royal Town. It is unlikely that the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal had any major economic impact on many of the townspeople. Indeed, for much of its existence, it would have been quite remote, except for those families who lived in the small villages and settlements close to Sutton Coldfield through which the canal was cut in the late 18th century. This paper will focus mainly on those who lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries along or near the 3-mile pound from Dunton where the A446 crosses the canal near Curdworth Top Lock to where the A38 is taken across the waterway at the start of the Minworth Locks. Additionally, the role of the canal in the building of the Minworth Sewage Works will be explored as it played a key part in its’ construction and in the movement of supplies and materials. During my research, I came across a small number of other items related to the length of canal I have focussed upon and these have been gathered together as Snippets.

  • Tree Planting
    Annual Report 2011 12/8/11 16:04 Page 1 Annual Review 2010 / 2011 The Birmingham Civic Society Annual Report 2011 12/8/11 16:04 Page 2 Message from Paul Farrow Chairman of the Trees Committee of The Birmingham Civic Society I am delighted to present Birmingham Trees for Life’s report on the fifth year of its activities. I have enjoyed taking over the role from Rob Blyth, my predecessor – a difficult act to follow! This planting season saw 144 large trees, 4890 saplings and 40 fruit trees planted at 20 sites. Over the five year period we have planted nearly 15,000 trees on almost 100 sites – a magnificent addition to Birmingham’s green canopies. This has only been possible due to the support of Birmingham City Council and once again thanks are due to Councillor Mullaney, who as the Cabinet Member responsible for Leisure, Sport and Culture, has been instrumental in ensuring that financial support continues. Our thanks also to other Councillors and the Leader of the Council too, who attended a number of the 21 plantings held during this year. My gratitude also goes to the members of my Trees Committee who have given up their spare time voluntarily to promote our programme and get muddy tree planting. To mark the planting of our 10,000th tree a special planting event was held in Chinn Brook Meadows in the Billesley Ward of Councillor Len Gregory and his wife, who attended officially as the Lord and Lady Mayoress of Birmingham. We are grateful for their enthusiastic support, involvement and interest in the organisation throughout their year in office and hope this connection will continue in the future; Cllr Gregory was influential in the setting up of BTFL.
