Wake Green

Areas of Birmingham, West MidlandsWest Midlands (county) geography stubs

Wake Green (grid reference SP085823) is a historical area in south Birmingham, England between Moseley, Kings Heath, and Hall Green. Like nearby Sarehole it is no longer a postal address. It used to straddle the parish boundary of Yardley (Worcestershire at the time) and Kings Norton and was an area of "waste land", that is, land which had not yet been cultivated. In the past it had a post mill (windmill) – Wake Green Mill – mentioned in a deed of 1664 when it was in the possession of Richard Grevis. This was just above what is now Moseley Bog. As the outskirts of Birmingham became built upon around the turn of the twentieth century, Wake Green disappeared beneath the growing "villages" of Moseley and Kings Heath, eventually becoming the centre of a new parish of Saint Agnes, Moseley (now a conservation area). Its name lives on in Wake Green Road.
