Sutton Coldfield Local History Research Group

Sutton Coldfield has an interesting history well documented by an extensive collection of primary sources housed in Sutton Coldfield Library. Members of the Research Group have access to this material, and enjoy studying it to find out about aspects of the history of the Royal Town. Completed research is now to be found on this website.

Members who wish to do research meet any Tuesday (2.00-4.30 pm) at Sutton Library, coming as often as they wish to pursue their research topic, with help from experienced members of the Group and library staff. All members receive regular emails with details of our occasional field meetings, public lectures or issues that affect the group.

Progress?

Sad to say, but you will know the brook to which this poem refers. It runs through the New Hall Valley. Pollution of our country’s lakes, rivers and streams has become a national scandal. Anne’s poem, however, ends with a note of optimism.
