Sarehole

Sarehole (grid reference SP099818) is an area in Hall Green, Birmingham, England.

Historically in Worcestershire,[1] it was a small hamlet in the larger parish, and manor, of Yardley,[2] which was transferred to Birmingham in 1911.

Birmingham City Council has named the segment of the path along the Cole southwards from Sarehole Mill the John Morris Jones Walkway after a local historian.

The area influenced his description of the green and peaceful country of the Shire in his books.

During the 18th century the mill was leased by Matthew Boulton, one of the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution and leading figure of the Lunar Society, for scientific experimentation.
