Thanks for this Aladdin. I’ve just looked at Google maps and you’re right, it’d just called The Bourn. Strangely stirchley Park isn’t on there which might account for so many people not knowing about it. I will have to check an a-z.

The Bourn Brook actually runs through Selly Oak and joins the River Rea down by Cannon Hill Park.

It is a bit confusing, especially when the word ‘bourn’ was used to describe a ‘brook’ years ago. That would make the ‘brook brook’ running through Selly Oak and the ‘river brook’ running through Stirchley Park. There is of course Riverbrook Drive off Cartland Road which used to be called Riverside Avenue…..if that makes sense…..lol.
