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.

Bring me my Arrows of desire:

“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
