| Description |
Druids Heath in South Birmingham. Went through here a few days before on the 49 bus and noticed an old Tudor building. Came back on a Sunday on the more reliable and regular no 50 bus. This was <a href="http://www.bellsfarm.org.uk/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bell's Farmhouse</a> - now Bells Farm Community Centre. It is currently being <a href="http://www.bhamtrust.citrusfrog.com/architecture/our-next-new-project-bells-farm-in-druids-heath/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">restored</a>. At 1 Bells Farm Close (and listed as being at 157 Bells Lane). Grade II* listed building. <a href="http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-216766-bell-s-farmhouse-157-birmingham" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bell's Farmhouse 157, Birmingham</a> BELL'S LANE 1. 5104 Brandwood B14 No 157 (Bell's Farmhouse) (formerly listed under Northfield) SP 07 NE 17/14 25.4.52 II* 2.
