There were six Birmingham Open Air Schools opened after 1911 and dedicated to the care of sick Birmingham children: Cropwood, Haseley Hall, Hunter's Hill, Marsh Hill, Skilts and Uffculme.

Of these, the following have individual threads within this Forum:
Cropwood, Hunter's Hill, Marsh Hill and Skilts - https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/for...-skilts-excl-haseley-hall-and-uffculme.40757/
Haseley Hall – https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/haseley-hall.31500/
Uffculme – https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/uffculme-open-air-school.30277/

Forum members' contributions are welcomed within any of the above threads.

A useful book was written about the schools:
"A Breath of Fresh Air" written by Frances Wilmot (née Headford, ex-Cropwood) and Pauline Saul (née Brueton ex-Uffculme), published by Phillimore & Co. Ltd., 1998, ISBN 1 86077 075 4. Not easy to buy now but no doubt available in libraries.
