| Description |
  Centre of map shown on a map of England
English: This drawing of the area north-east of Birmingham was executed by Robert Dawson, who used different shades of green to distinguish land uses. Sutton Coldfield is depicted at lower right, Aldridge at the top left. Tamworth is top middle; Coleshill lower middle. The River Tame flows north to Tamworth. Atherstone and Nuneaton are on the right-hand side. Hamstead, mispelled "Hampstead") is on the left. Now a residential suburb of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield was originally a market town with Sutton Park. The 970-hectare site was a private estate and one of Henry VIII's favourite hunting grounds. Areas of woodland, heathland and wetland make up the landscape of the park..
