Wake Green Road
Wake Green Road runs from the centre of Moseley for about two miles to the south east. It has several listed buildings along it:
- four early 20th century houses (two of them in the St. Agnes conservation area)
- Moseley School, also known as Spring Hill College
- a row of sixteen listed single storey Phoenix prefabs, built 1945 under the Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act, and still occupied
It also has the house J. R. R. Tolkien first lived in (the Gracewell cottages) when he came to England at the age of four, in a hamlet then called Sarehole, opposite Sarehole Mill.

Famous quotes containing the words wake, green and/or road:
“For a novel addressed by a man to men and women of full age; which attempts to deal unaffectedly with the fret and fever, derision and disaster, that may press in the wake of the strongest passion known to humanity; to tell, without a mincing of words, of a deadly war waged between flesh and spirit; and to point the tragedy of unfulfilled aims, I am not aware that there is anything in the handling to which exception can be taken.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“They call, even if I’m pinned behind bars.
They call, they call their green death call.
They want me. They need me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Ev’ry road I walk along I’ve walked along with you.”
—Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
