Redstone Farm Road was originally part of Gospel Lane as well, but the people on the even number side which has always fallen on the Solihull side of the boundary did not really want to be associated too much with the council house plebs! Hence the rename from Gospel Lane to Redstone Farm Road prior to ww2.

It's nice enough as we live just off St Bernards Road in Mereside Way, it's close to the Olton Mere but most of the large Edwardian houses are still there though some have been converted into flats now. Obviously Solihull has changed greatly over the last 40 years since we moved here from Hall Green. I am a member at the golf club you mention though nowadays they don't let people in to hunt the balls.I never knew that!! I used to walk up that way to Pitmaston School. I used to live Tavistock Road at Broomhall Cresent end.
I can remember what Stitcher was saying about all those lovely houses on St Bernards Road and the Solihul end etc..and the golf course - spent hours there collecting golf balls and used to make a few pence selling them back to the golfers (ha ha ha had to buy sweets somehow!!)
I also remember there was Langley Hall Road just off Gospel Lane and a social club there - there was a path that led to what we called a brook/pond and some trees there we'd spend afternoons there with a picnic and mess in the water when we couldn't afford to go over to Tudor Grange swimming baths and park. I looked at this a while back on a map it's amazing how far around we used to go as kids. We'd walk for miles and loved those big houses - they always seemed really posh for us kids off the council estate. But I'd not change it if I was given a chance cause where we lived was nice and a real community back then (mid 1970's onwards) our end of the street was great.
I often wonder whether it's still as nice there.
