Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking across Stirchley from near the Hazewell. The orange sign just visible below the factory roof in the centre of the picture reads "Cadbury" thus identifying the location of the famous chocolate factory!

Dist:0.8km<br/>Listed buildings, seen here from the cemetery side. Restoration is proposed. When it was opened in 1899 the cemetery was administered by King's Norton Rural District Council, and was absorbed by Birmingham when the city extended its boundaries in 1911. It covers an area of over 21 hectares. It is accorded a Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England [source: Birmingham City Council].

Dist:0.9km<br/>During early days of Birmingham's Cross-city rail service, many trains from Longbridge would go directly from Kings Norton to New Street via the freight line through Kings Heath. This enabled additional rolling stock to reach Birmingham without stacking up through Bournville and University. The benefit to us railway photographers were rare views of former passenger stations on this ex-Midland Railway route. Hazelwell Station, closed in 1941, the southern platform and buildings are in this photo, was accessed from Cartland Road, situated between Kings Heath and Kings Norton. These buildings have since been dismantled. The good news is the line is hoped to be reopened in future to passengers, when funding arrives for a new loop line to take trains to Bordesley and Moor Street instead of through St Andrews junction to New Street.
