The Manor of Yardley

This is a set of essays written by John Morris Jones in 1964/5, which can be read in conjunction with his Urbanisation of Yardley. Wholesale updating has not been done. An incomplete version of this title is on the Birmingham Grid for Learning, but some of the re-drawn maps there may be clearer than the copies here. Some additional information has been brought in from other titles by him to flesh out the contents.
