- King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys
- Description
- Originally an arched gateway was erected at the Camp Hill site, with triangular shouldered pediment and dentil cornice. The arch featured a pointed internal arch with decorative stone label and decorative cast gates. Two plaques with names were originally attached to the side of the gates facing the school. A raised inscription panel with the dates was surmounted by a shield on the front road-side face of arch. The name plaques have since been relocated to the Kings Heath site and the arch has been dismantled.
