When Tolkien refers to a 'great mill' in The Hobbit he was probably remembering Sarehole Mill. From 5 Gracewell the boys and their mother could look across the water-meadow to the mill. Tolkien mentioned the miller and his son, George Andrew senior and junior, in the Foreword to The Lord of the Rings. It is perhaps understandable that the miller shouted at him and his younger brother when they played in the mill-yard, as they were very small and there was dangerous machinery there!https://outercirclebus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/wake-green-road-no-264.jpgWake Green Road - no 264Number 264 Wake Green Road. In the summer of 1896 JR Tolkien’s mother Mabel and her two sons settled at 5 Gracewell, now 264 Wake Green Road, a cottage in the hamlet of Sarehole in the north Worcestershire countryside close to Moseley. Most of the area was still farmland. Tolkien said Sarehole was the model for the Shire, home of Bilbo in The Hobbit. He also said that hobbits were partly modelled on the people he knew there. He made the hobbits small in stature because the people were small in imagination; but he said they could be great in courage.https://outercirclebus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/moseley-new-pool.jpgMoseley New PoolThis autumnal scene shows Moseley New Pool in Swanshurst Park, but it has been known by other names in the past, including Swanshurst Lady Pool and Grove Pool. Coldbath Brook was dammed to create the New Pool as a fish pond in or before 1758. In its hey day Swanshurst Park had a boathouse with boats to hire, a pitch and putt golf course, changing rooms for sports, toilets and a cafe.https://outercirclebus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/ye-olde-red-lion-kings-heath-the-architect-ce-batemans-sketch.jpgYe Olde Red Lion Kings Heath (The architect CE Bateman's sketch)The bucolic scene of a wandering gaggle of geese and a man on horseback envisaged by CE Bateman the architect in his architectural sketch of Ye Olde Red Lion. In the early 1890s, the Priory Trust owners of the land in this area asked Bateman to lay out a middle class suburb on its land, which at the time would have been at the very edge of Birmingham. The houses were designed in a variety of Arts and Crafts styles. https://outercirclebus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/pineapple-bridge-after-being-widened-in-october-1930-the-church-of-st-mary-magdalen-can-be-seen-on-the-left-the-bus-going-over-the-bridge-was-an-aec-504.jpgPineapple Bridge after being widened in October 1930, the church of St Mary Magdalen can be seen on the left, the bus going over the bridge was an AEC 504Pineapple Bridge after being widened in October 1930, the church of St Mary Magdalen can be seen on the left, the bus going over the bridge was an AEC 504.https://outercirclebus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/guillotine-lock-lifford-lane.jpgGuillotine Lock - Lifford LaneOne of the Guillotine Lock Gates at Lifford Lane Bridge on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. The building to the left is the toll collector’s office. The lock gates were located about 350 yards from the end of the canal where it joins the Worcester Canal. This first section of the canal was completed to Lapworth by 1802. Since the nationalisation of the canals in 1948, water loss from one canal to another is less of an issue, so the gates are no longer in use and are both left open. The last recorded use of the gates was 1959. This photo shows how fascinated the English are by canals – there are spectators in abundance on the bridge and the canal side even in these early days. Or are they supposed to be working?https://outercirclebus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/savoy-cinema-cotteridge.jpgSavoy Cinema CotteridgeThe Savoy Cinema in
