Dist:0.4km<br/>By the roundabout on the Redditch Road. Apparently the Pub's name was changed from "The Man in the Moon" following the first manned Moon landing in 1969. (Thanks to Bill Dargue for pointing this out - see also The Dictionary of Pub Name by David Rothwell, page 246).

Dist:0.4km<br/>A block of flats at the junction of Redhill Road and the Redditch Road. The name almost, but not totally, seems to echo the nearby Tolkien connections!

Dist:0.5km<br/>On southern outskirts of Birmingham, just off Redditch Road, two blocks of flats look out over the low hillsides Gay Hill, Forhill, and Headley Heath

Dist:0.6km<br/>From Longdales Road, looking across leisure centre grounds, towards two blocks of flats on Branch Road. On the skyline, directly ahead (to right of flats) is a green 'mound' - this is actually the small group of trees that is 'Frankley Beeches' 3 miles or so away.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Lonely looking tall tree, between flats on housing estate off Green Lane Hawkesley (between Forth Grove and Ithon Grove). I believe that this street was built in the 1970s.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This observatory is on the edge of the playing fields and other grounds owned by Birmingham University. It seems to be heavily protected by razor wire and behind a gate with hefty ironwork, presumably to keep out the local n'ere do wells.
