Shard End history
Pre-War
Shard End was completely rural before the end of World War II . The only buildings were farmhouses, farm outbuildings and tithe cottages .
The new estate
A plan of the new housing estate was produced at the end of 1945 and compulsory purchase orders were issued in 1946 . Building of the estate started in the late 1940s and was added to in stages .
Development in the 1970s
After the estate of the 1940s had been constructed, a large swathe of green land remained along the River Cole valley . This was called ‘The cow fields’ and those who lived there in the early 1950s would have cows grazing on the fields just the other side of our garden fence . This rare open space in a city provided valuable recreation space for the new and young population of Shard End .
