War Stone
War Stone submitted by baz : The War Stone sits on its plinth in Warstone Lane, overlooking the people who pass by. Birmingham has no natural rock, so this stone, which was deposited nearby by a glacier during the last ice age, has done well to remain here since the Mesolithic. (Vote or comment on this photo)
