The park is a national nature reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. New Hall Valley, which separates Walmley and Maney, is the location of New Hall Valley Country Park
Sutton Coldfield has been an affluent area in the past leading to the construction of manors and other large houses. Several have been renovated into hotels such as the New Hall Hotel, Moor Hall Hotel, Moxhull Hall Hotel, and Ramada Hotel and Resort Penns Hall. Peddimore Hall, a Scheduled Ancient Monument near Walmley, is a double moated hall used as a private residence. Demolished manor houses include Langley Hall, the former residence of William Wilson and Four Oaks Hall, designed by William Wilson.

Beyond the railway bridge, which crosses the Sutton Park Line and separates the Lichfield Road and High Street, is the Anchorage Road conservation area which protects buildings such as Moat House by William Wilson.
Linked by regular and fast services from Sutton Coldfield railway station on the Cross-City Line to the centre of Birmingham, Sutton is mostly a commuter dormitory town for people who work in Birmingham.

Places to see in ( Wellington - UK )
Wellington is a town in the unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England and now forms part of the new town of Telford, with which it has gradually become contiguous.
The total town population of Wellington was 25,554 in 2011 making it by far the largest of the borough towns and the third largest town in Shropshire when counted independently from Telford. However, the town centre serves a greater area of approximately 60,000.
Wellington's first market charter was granted to Giles of Erdington, lord of the manor, and is dated 1244 and a market still exists today. To the north-east of the town is the site of Apley Castle, originally a fourteenth-century fortified manor house, the remains of which were converted into a stable block with the building of a grand Georgian house, which was itself demolished in the 1950s. The surviving stable block has been converted into apartments and retains some medieval features.
Dawley New Town was designated by the Government in 1963, and was expanded to encompass Wellington in 1968 under the new name of Telford, named for the great engineer and first county surveyor of Shropshire, Thomas Telford. The creation of Telford has divided opinion in Wellington ever since, with some celebrating the jobs and investment it brought to the area and others bemoaning the negative impact on Wellington's own economy – as well as its status and sense of identity. The development of Telford Town Centre since the 1970s has hit Wellington's retail centre hard. In addition, moves such as the renaming of the local football team from Wellington Town to Telford United highlighted to many that Wellington was being erased as a town in its own right.
The Wrekin, one of Shropshire's most famous landmarks, provides Wellington with a rolling green backdrop to the south-west. Located just two miles from the centre of the town, it brings tens of thousands of walkers and cyclists to Wellington every year.
Located in the town's Victorian market hall, Wellington Market operates four days a week and houses over 100 stalls. A Farmers' Market takes place on the fourth Saturday of the month, bringing together several Shropshire food producers and retailers in the market's historic home of Market Square.
A short walk from the centre of the town is Sunnycroft, a Victorian villa and mini-estate now owned and run by the National Trust.
The New Buck's Head football stadium, home to A.F.C. Telford United, is in Wellington. Other sporting clubs include the Wellington Cricket Club, currently in the Birmingham League Premier Division, and Wrekin Golf Club. Wellington is home to the Belfrey Theatre an amateur venue run by the Wellington Theatre Company which puts on an annual season of plays and other shows.

Trip to the Rag Market, Birmingham City Centre, England, UK
A short trip to the Rag Market Birmingham, England on 20 July 2013. The journey started from Wolverhampton train station travelling by train.
The Bull Ring Rag Market, which replaced the old City's Rag Market, opened in December 2000 and is famous world-wide for the extensive range of materials available in addition to a bewildering array of other merchandise.
Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands of England. It is the most populous British city outside the capital London with 1,074,300 residents (2011 census), an increase of 96,000 over the previous decade. The City lies at the heart of the West Midlands conurbation, the second most populous urban area in the United Kingdom with a population of 2,284,093 (2001 census). Its metropolitan area is also the United Kingdom's second most populous with 3,683,000 residents.
A medium-sized market town during the medieval period, Birmingham grew to international prominence in the 18th century at the heart of the Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw the town at the forefront of worldwide developments in science, technology and economic organisation, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society. By 1791 it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world. Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly-skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided a diverse and resilient economic base for industrial prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. Its resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of broad-based political radicalism that under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy.
Today Birmingham is a major international commercial centre, ranked as a beta− world city by the Globalisation and World Cities Research Network; and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. With a GDP of $90bn (2008 estimate, PPP), the economy of the urban area is the second largest in the UK and the 72nd largest in the world. Birmingham's six universities make it the largest centre of higher education in the United Kingdom outside London, and its major cultural institutions, including the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, enjoy international reputations. The Big City Plan is a large redevelopment plan currently underway in the city centre with the aim of making Birmingham one of the top 20 most liveable cities in the world.

A 2019 LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY OPEN HOUSE
The SVR Open House Weekend was held on April 6th & 7th 2019. As it is one of my favourite events of the year, it is the fifth in my 'Look behind the Open House' videos, I planned to shoot the north end of the line on the Saturday and the south end the following day. Fortunately the weather was fine on both days and I shot more than 300 sequences which I have edited down to a 35 minute programme. The editing alone has taken eleven hours!
The programme commences at Bridgnorth where we see a slippery departure by 75069 prior to us making a visit to the boiler shop and locomotive works, the sound level here has been reduced for viewer's comfort. The Stanier Mogul's boiler is examined in some detail to illustrate the complexity of this major component. We also study the skills of the blacksmith. A look in the Paint Shop reveals the maroon auto-coach which is undergoing re-varnishing. After a quick look in the machine shop we visit Eardington. This is followed by a look round the Barry Railway four wheel coach, originally six, of 1895 which is undergoing restoration at Hampton Loade. A train down to Highley provides a visit to the signal box followed by The Engine House. A number of model layouts are featured including: Campbell's Quarry, Coton on Dove, Earl's Court, Malton Road and Bumf Mine. We then catch the train back to Bridgnorth to complete day one.
Day two commences at Bewdley where we take a look at superb restoration work on two Great Western coaches as well as Large Prairie No.4150. Shots of Pannier Tank No.7714 providing footplate rides through the station precede a visit to Kidderminster where a visit is made to the Carriage Works for a look at the models and a Mk1 coach undergoing modification. Models featured here are 82G, Arbric Mine, The G Scale Society and Ballymungret. A number of sequences on the mainline feature 34027 Taw Valley, 2857, 7802 Bradley Manor, 7714, 75069 and 4144.
My thanks to all at the SVR for an excellent weekend and I hope that you enjoy watching this video as much as I have enjoyed making it.
