The recent rainfall has brought some relief to Sutton Park following a blaze earlier in the month.

The tinder dry area around Boldmere Gate went up in flames, with West Midlands Fire Service saying a disposable barbecue was the cause.

It devastated an area the size of three football pitches as these images of blackened trees and grassland show.

With more hot weather forecast, visitors are being urged to avoid BBQs and naked flames.
