Tagged as {{pov}}, since there's lots of loaded language in here - halfway into the first line we're onto the "leafy suburbs" of Birmingham (a good number of people would not agree that there's anything "leafy" about the place). Unpicking it all and making the remainder makes sense looks like a job for someone with a good amount of time on their hands. 131.251.49.202 15:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw this article, and would like to point out that I passed the studios every day on the way to uni about 10 years ago. That particular part of Birmingham was perfectly leafy, thankyou. Maybe things changed by the time the studios were closed, but I'd be surprised. 195.92.168.170 19:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It may well be 'leafy' but it is not neutral saying that. It makes it appear you are trying to sell the area to people and promote it. That is what we are trying to avoid. - Erebus555 19:54, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from 'leafy' suburb I really don't see what else is very pov... 138.251.97.42 10:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would 'tree-lined' be more appropriate and factually correct? Pebble Mill Road and the two roads that it joins (Pershore Road and Bristol Road) are all lined with trees, and Cannon Hill Park is less than 100 yards from the site. I'd say that makes it pretty leafy. -Brumie 23:53 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Copyedit

I've just gone through the article and removed any subjective statements that could be seen as potentially 'biased', as well as rearranging it for effect. I've played around with the syntax in the first paragraphs, since they each read like opening sentences and didn't quite fit together. It may need a little more expansion, though. -- Sasuke Sarutobi 21:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

Any idea why it was called Pebble Mill or what a pebble mill is? This has always bothered me a bit. Pebbles do not need milling. Pebble bread would not be nice. 81.131.25.75 (talk) 21:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
