Dist:0.3km<br/>As the sign says, this church is within the Parish of Shirley. Given the affluence of the area it is a surprisingly simple structure. Beyond be seen the buildings of the Tidbury Green private nursery.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This unstaffed stop on is on the ex-GWR "North Warwicks" line and actually situated slightly closer to Major's Green than the small community the name suggests it serves. For a rural halt it sports an impressive array of fencing with everything painted in a replica of the old GWR colour scheme of the 1930s.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A particularly leafy and secluded stretch of the canal bordering the modern Dickens Heath Village development.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The canal passes through a four hundred metre long tree lined cutting north of Dickens Heath. The northern part of the twenty-five and a half mile canal dates from 1790s and was built with wide boats in mind, but the original plans had to be revised, and by 1803 the canal was open from King's Norton to Kingswood, with narrow locks. A further delay occurred until 1812, when the route was extended to Stratford, and operating by 1815.
