Stuart0742 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Millsands and Bridgehouses Millsands runs from Bridge street where the old Whitbreads Brewery was, all new development now including Irwin Mitchell Solicitors. Bridghouses is behind Nursery Street and West of the old Victoria Station. There was a large Goods Shed at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightstemplar Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 High hazels is down as Handsworth Hill estate on the map, alongside High Hazels park. Olivers Mount is part of it. Parkwood Springs is where the Ski village is and the area that once was the landfill site. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLASH EARTH Showing part of the famous 'Wyming Brook Drive' on the R/H side. Thanks, I've never heard of it, despite being born and bred relatively close by.
