Highter's Heath

Highter’s Heath (often Highters Heath) is a district lying on the southern boundary of the city of Birmingham, UK, immediately east of the Maypole, within the ward of Billesley. Highter's Heath is set to become a ward within its own right as part of proposed boundary changes to be confirmed in May 2016.

The name Highter’s Heath is not one that is particularly in widespread use, indeed only two signposted references to the name exist, when entering the city from the bottom of Highters Heath Lane and in Majors Green (although until recently there was also a sign when entering the city along Maypole Lane). In the Majors Green example it is surprising the signpost reference isn't rather to Solihull Lodge.

South of Maypole Lane the area is often referred to as Hollywood, after the adjacent village in Worcestershire, whilst to the north the boundary with Warstock (and the wider B14 moniker of Kings Heath) is undefined. The area also includes Daisy Farm Park.

Immanuel is the local C of E parish church, behind which is located the local primary school. This is called Hollywood Primary School, possibly so named because the school opened well after Highters Heath School, located at the far end of Highters Heath Lane in Warstock. In addition, before the area was developed the city boundary ran along Maypole Lane.

Heath

A heath or heathland is a shrubland habitat found mainly on free-draining infertile, acidic soils and is characterised by open, low-growing woody vegetation. Moorland is generally related to high-ground heaths with — especially in the British Isles — a cooler and more damp climate.

Heaths are widespread worldwide, but are fast disappearing and considered a rare habitat in Europe. They form extensive and highly diverse communities across Australia in humid and sub-humid areas. Fire regimes with recurring burning are required for the maintenance of the heathlands. Even more diverse though less widespread heath communities occur in Southern Africa. Extensive heath communities can also be found in the California chaparral, New Caledonia, central Chile and along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to these extensive heath areas, the vegetation type is also found in scattered locations across all continents, except Antarctica.

Characteristics

Heathland is favoured where climatic conditions are typically warm and dry, particularly in summer, and soils acidic, of low fertility, and often sandy and very free-draining; mires do occur where drainage is poor, but are usually only small in extent. Heaths are dominated by low shrubs, 20 centimetres (7.9 in) to 2 metres (7 feet) tall.

Heath Street (MBTA station)

Heath Street (announced as Heath Street/VA Medical Center) is a tram stop and terminus of the MBTA Green Line "E" Branch, located at the intersection of South Huntington Avenue and Heath Street on the border between the Mission Hill and Jamaica Plain neighborhood line of Boston, Massachusetts. The station is accessible when served by the MBTA's newer low-floor trolley cars and buses.

History

Heath Street was originally a minor turnback for the Arborway Line. In the late 70s, two waiting shelters with signage were built. After four years of rebuilding, "E" Branch service resumed to Heath Street (but not to Arborway on November 4, 1989. It has served as the line's terminus since.

The shelter across the street from the Heath Street terminal was demolished in the 2000s, but the one inside the loop remains. The shelter is also used as an office for MBTA employees.
