Senior Management & myself took my parents down, to see our daughter, in her Uni flat today
As part of the day, we ended up heading over through Moseley, towards Sarehole

With it approaching dinner-time (circa 12:30) we parked up in Moseley, free as well, with pops 'blue badge', so he didn't have far to walk
At random, we went into the 'Elizabeth of York' pub


And, as I looked up (photo taken from upstairs)

Smaug
As Tolkien lived in the area

Sadly, viewing Sarehole Mill is nigh on impossible, from the public road
It is the inspiration for the mill at Hobbiton, in The Lord Of The Rings

There was, however, this 'Eye Of Sauron'. atttached to the fence, by the visitor centre

And Old Joe, the clock-tower at the University of Birmingham is purported to be the model for The Dark Tower (Saurons tower), & the illuminated clockfaces, as the Eye Of Sauron
487954






There is also plaque, on the campus, for a Dr J Sampson Gamgee...... whose name Tolkien abbreviated & used
(I didn't see the Sam Gamgee plaque, as that was on the new Library building, Gamgee lived opposite a relative of Tolkien)

A compass, at the top of some steps, on the Coastal Walk.

A boundary board on the Three Tuns pub.

And a cast iron mile post, made at the Ipswich foundry, in 1818. You can just make out the makers details, but they are a bit obliterated by age.
