Local History 11
Marlbrook Tip contined
The article is taken from the Bromsgrove Messenger 18 March 1933. We believe that Marlbrook Tip is where Coppice Farm was, (or part of the site), and the coppice could have been the trees surround the reservoir, on Alvechurch Highway. Most of the trees were removed by the current owner.

We are still trying to confirm that this bungalow was a tea room. We do know that in the late 1940s or early 1950s a Mrs Chambers would sell pop to local school children.

The house was built in the 1920s and was called "The Nest"
