I agree Planetmalc, It seems we dont record what appears to be ordinary mundane things, only when we look back to our memories do we regret or lose the ability of recall. With Druids Heath and the Maypole ordinarily appears dull, but it still an area of interest: Druids Heath ( possibly derived from Drews, and romanticised to Druids ) was part of the large Parish of King's Norton under the diocese of Worcester Cathedral. Walkers Heath, Druids Heath, Kings heath and [censored] Moor were Crown lands heavily wooded with Farms dotted about, sparsely populated. These Lands were rented out to freeman tenants and developed accordingly, The only ancient fixture of the area was Icknield Street, which now runs along walkers Heath Rd, Lifford Lane and onto The Pershore Rd. Historically the area was very quiet with no major event noticable. The Druids Heath area was farmland controlled by Monyhull and Bells Farm--later this farm was incorporated into the Hospital Colony, later some of the area was made into a golf course bisected by The Chinn Brook. there was no manor house in the area, Bells farm was rebuilt in the 15th century by a 'Gentleman Farmer' of some means. The next major event was WWII when an AA Gun & Radar site was set up in Kingswood Farm as part of Birminghams southern Air Defenses, Nearby was built a large Prefab estate by German POW's in 1944 called Bells Farm estate, It had some shops and a school, some of which still survives in the present school today ( Sir Theodore Pritchett Primary Sch ). By the early 1960's the area was cleared for a 2 phase municipal Estate, the 1st stage was completed by 1965, Baverstock Estate was built by 1967 and the area had a very rural enviroment. By the early 1970's Bells farm was tenantless and was abandoned until some gypsies moved in, In 1975 a fire broke out partially damaging the Farmhouse, it was then abandoned and fell into ruins very quickly. by 1977 Bells Farm Estate was completed and a school was built next to the reconstructed Farmhouse. Over on Walkers Heath a small development was built virtually urbanizing the area.
