"There used to be a large body of water on Warren Farm land called Lodge Pool, the island that now stands at the bottom of the hill in Warren Farm Road is built on top of a filled in Lodge Pool".
Many thanks again Rod. I did wonder what happened to Lodge Pool as it cropped up on the Pool Cottages, Rodwell Drive thread. Will drop in a link here to that thread (https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=35541). Viv.
My brother-in-law vaguely remembers a nursery with shrubs (not little cherubs) near the old Midlands Counties Dairy situated on the site of present day Heather Croft road, and the nursery probably sold heathers maybe suggesting the road name. The Google Earth 1945 view shows the building with a small field behind, the 2005 view shows the building being demolished, and the 2007 view shows the present block of flats.I'm looking for the gardening variety of nursery not the little cherubs variety!!
