As the economic rebuilding and recovery in postwar Japan gradually led to the economic boom years from 1963 to 1993, old housing stock and shops and small factories were demolished and new ones built. Some of the sturdier houses, though, were reroofed in metal, to preserve the insulating power of thatch without having to replace one side every 10 years and then the opposite side 10 years after that. So in addition to extending the life of the roof and the house overall, the sight of this house is also a reminder of the times after WWII, including the boom years that followed the desperate times post-war.

Priory Fields - Priory Road, Yardley Wood.
This was just beyond the pond.
This corrugated metal roof.
There was no access to the fields in winter.
Well not from down here, saw a gate saying Private.
Must be a public entrance somewhere to Priory Fields Nature Reserve. Probably best to wait until Spring or Summer, as during winter the paths would be muddy.
Despite it now being in the West Midlands it is maintained by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.
Comprising of four fields, this peaceful oasis is bisected by Mill Stream, which feeds the large mill pool sitting adjacent to the reserve. Predominantly moss and swampland in 972AD, the site gave rise to heath and pasture by 1495, and eventually became Yardley Wood Common until 1847. Changing little since, the site still offers remnants of heathland and acidic grassland which are now rare habitats in Warwickshire.

Not-particularly-bucolic view out my hotel window. I'd been planning to camp originally, but realised I was going to be in for a rough night/next day if I didn't get a hot shower and somewhere dry to sleep.
