The road going north towards Six Ways from Kingsbury Road must be Woodend Lane/Wood End Lane - "Roger Field" to the right of Wood End Lane ? . Sorry if this is obvious to others, but I'm trying to get bearings.

Very helpful ! Thanks.
Info from Bill Dargue's site:
In 1655 Thomas Fox was given permission by Sir Robert Holte to create two pools near Erdington. One was Mere Pool, the other was Marl(e) Pool. (According to Bill, Marl is clay dug to be spread on the land to improve its fertility...... name perhaps suggests that a pool or pit already existed here)

Also and pre-enclosure, a corruption of Cuckoo/Cuckow, was "Cuckolds" Corner, located at Sutton Road/Chester Road junction. Chester Road - a route used by Welsh drovers taking their livestock to London and Midlands.
