Acocks Green

Acocks Green was located two miles north-east of Sarehole (now Hall Green) and J.R.R. Tolkien used to walk to this location to see his uncle. From a letter to a group of primary school children in Acocks Green:

"I lived till I was 8 at Sarehole and used to walk to A[cocks] G[reen] to see my uncle. It was all 'country' then ..."
