About

Wake Green East sits on the edge of south Birmingham, a mainly residential pocket of streets and small gardens that links into Moseley. Housing here dates largely from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with local primary schools, community groups and small shops within walking distance. Street trees and front gardens give many roads a planted character, and several lanes lead directly into green space at the boundary with Moseley Bog.

Moseley Bog is a patch of wet woodland, marsh and open grass that has been managed as a local nature reserve and community space. Paths and simple boardwalks wind past alder and oak into a shallow pool and areas of reed and scrub, used by local wildlife and by groups for practical conservation work. The site has a long local history—J.R.R. Tolkien is known to have explored the bog as a child—and the place remains a local focus for education, volunteer projects and informal visits.
