House on the corner of Wynford Road and Yardley Road.
This is unusual because of the amount of stone apparently used, and because
it is a single-story building with dormers. It could be the Thickbroom
family's farmhouse, and may be much earlier than mid-Victorian. |

This house, originally known as The Knoll, was built 1886/7
for Edwin Cottrell Newey, a solicitor of 118 Colmore Row. Before he moved into
his new house, he lived at Endfield Villa next door. After his death in 1906,
his wife continued to live there. After use as a recreational building for young

building is now under threat. |
