	Welcome to Hockley, Birmingham and the West Midlands
		As the regeneration of Birmingham develops it is inevitable that this area of the city will be revitalised and become a more desirable location in which to live.
		One of the main routes into Birmingham passes through Hockley and the run down buildings and empty boarded up retail units and small warehouses are not the best advertisement for the modern and vibrant city that Birmingham has become known for.
		This is very much still a working area of the city and a drive round Hockley will soon reveal that there are some fine examples of regeneration and efforts being made to turn old brownfield industrial sites in new modern housing and more attractive retail outlets.

	The walk 16: Hockley Street to The Museum
		Continue down Hockley Street as far as the traffic island, and turn left into Spencer Street (1), (2).
		This was a speculative development of houses and workshops when it was erected in around 1871 in an ornate Italianate style which, as we have seen elsewhere, was popular around that time.
		Entrance to the museum is by guided tour only and, to make sure you don't just miss a tour, before you go for your well-earned cup of tea in the cafe it's a good idea to pop into the museum and verify the time of the next tour.

	Friends of Key Hill - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Key Hill Cemetery occupies a significant place in the history of Birmingham, and not just becuase it was the first purpose-built cemetery in the town - it was built to provide much-needed burial space which was becoming ever-more difficult to find in the various church graveyards around the town.
		As it was, initially, a private cemetery, it was originally used mainly by the more wealthy families in the town, which means that it became the final resting-places of some of the most important and influential people in Birmingham.
