St Mark's Church, Stockland Green

Stockland Green School is a mixed secondary school located in the Stockland Green area of Birmingham, in the West Midlands of England.Previously a community school administered by Birmingham City Council, Stockland Green School converted to academy status in May 2012. The school is now part of the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership, but continues to coordinate with Birmingham City Council for admissions. The school was founded in the 1950s as a 'secondary modern' school catering for pupils who had not passed the eleven-plus exam for admission to a selective school. In the 1960s, a new wing was built and the school became a 'bilateral' school with a specialism in art. In its early years the school had a strong musical tradition; it had a good brass band and staged ambitious musicals such as 'White Horse Inn'. In 1973 first year pupils from the then named Stockland Green Bilateral School sang the original backing vocals on the hit single I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizzard, though they were replaced when it was re-recorded in 1981.

Stockland Green is an area of Birmingham, England. It gives its name to a ward which is part of the Erdington formal district, and is located to the south-west of Erdington and north-east of Birmingham City Centre.

The area however has its own council ward and is outside Erdington's traditional boundaries, previously in the Birmingham Aston constituency.

Tracline 65 was a bus route in Birmingham, England which included the first guided busway in the United Kingdom. The existing route 65 bus route was upgraded as part of an experiment to improve bus services, by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive. A 600-metre section of concrete-edged guideway was installed on Streetly Road in the Short Heath area, a few miles from Erdington village, at the northern terminal of the route. Located in a central reservation once used by Birmingham Corporation trams, it was segregated from the carriageway used by other vehicular traffic. At the southern end of the trackway, buses used ordinary roads to reach the city centre.Fourteen MCW Metrobus Mark II buses were acquired and fitted with guide wheels, which ran along the guideway's concrete edges. The vehicles were painted in a distinct livery, unique to Tracline 65, being silver with black and red detailing. It began operating in 1984. The trial ended in 1987 and all buses had their guide wheels removed and returned to normal services; the last withdrawn on 26 April 2008. The buses retained their distinctive destination display and gap in the front wheel arch where the guide wheels had been. One, fleet number 8110, is preserved at Aston Manor Road Transport Museum.

Brookvale Park Lake previously known as Lower Witton Reservoir (grid reference SP091911) is a former drinking water reservoir in the Erdington area of Birmingham, England. Two brooks, arising at Kingstanding and Bleak Hill, Erdington, respectively, feed first Witton Lakes (previously known as Upper Witton Reservoir and Middle Witton Reservoir), then overspill into Brookvale Park Lake, before reaching the River Tame, and ultimately the North Sea, via the Trent and Humber. The brooks are natural; the lakes were created at the end of the 19th century to supply drinking water for Birmingham. They were then in the countryside, and the water relatively clean. Industrialisation and urban sprawl led to the water no longer being fit for drinking, so the City turned to the Elan Valley in Wales for a supply. From 7 October 1909 until 1926, Brookvale Park Lake was used as an open air swimming pool operated by the Birmingham Baths Committee. The lakes and the surrounding area, Brookvale Park, are now maintained as a leisure amenity by Birmingham City Council. The first ring-necked duck in the West Midlands county was found here in 2001.

Industrialisation and urban sprawl led to the water no longer being fit for drinking, so the city turned to the Elan Valley in Wales for a supply. The lakes' capacity is 80,200 m3 (104,900 cu yd).The lakes are now maintained as a leisure amenity by Birmingham City Council. One is used for model boating and the other nature conservation.
