2023 – Summer Teaser Answer

The 75th Teaser is celebrated with a picture of the most recent improvement at a well-known beauty spot.

We asked you to identify the location.

It is fitting that our 75th Teaser should shine a spotlight on the most prominent feature in the Manor's landscape - Beacon Hill. The new Wolverhampton Road gateway and path were planned by the Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust and work carried out in 2022 by a Black Country contractor.

Adjacent meadows and woodlands have been improved making this an attractive walk passing the underground reservoir before reaching the Beacon Tower on the ridge.
