  • 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.

  • Wylde Green Farm Sutton Coldfield
    Wylde Green Farm Sutton Coldfield By Alan J. H. Howells. Sutton's Farmland On the south side of Sutton Coldfield, the borough boundary of the town, before it became part of Birmingham in 1974, was near Chester Road; in the early 20th century, Erdington Urban District Council lay to the south of this boundary. Until the second half of the century, travelling along Birmingham Road towards the south, most of the town's houses finished at Maney, with its smithy and travellers' inn, 'The Horse and Jockey'. Much of the remaining land between Maney and the borough boundary near Chester Road was agricultural, with fields and farms. This formed a green belt from Boldmere (common and waste land) eastward through Wylde Green and Penns (farmland) to Walmley Village (commons) and 'Beyond the Wood'. (See map A) Location of the Farm Wylde Green Farm had been farming an area of this green belt for centuries. The farm was situated on the east (Walmley) side of Birmingham Road at Wylde Green, just off Wylde Green Road, behind the large, ostentatious Wylde Green House. There were only a few early Victorian large houses built in the area before 1850, and these were situated in the countryside along the edge of the rural Birmingham to Sutton turnpike road at Wylde Green. These residences had stables and carriage houses to accommodate their means of transport to and from their businesses, usually in Birmingham. The remainder of the area was fields, let out to tenant farmers or smallholders by their wealthy owners. A transport revolution in the area started in 1862 with the opening of the London and North Western Railway line from Birmingham to Sutton, with stations at Chester Road and Wylde Greenl This resulted in land being used for building on the western (Boldmere) side of Birmingham Road, including fields belonging to the farm.
