About Thimble End
Thimble End is a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England. Situated between Walmley, Minworth and Signal Hayes. The area was once farmland used by farmers in the area. The need for extra living space after World War II prompted the construction of a small housing estate on the site. This was further expanded in the 1970s and the final part of the farmland was constructed on by 2005.
