Birmingham Archives have a few maps of use. Quick and very crude overlay attached puts the site mainly on land owned by Sir John Lister Holte of Aston Hall in the mid 1700s. Also attached is an excerpt from the 1977 map of 1760 fields that they have at Birmingham and the site is mainly in 'Spring Close' and 'Eight Acres'. The name Tudor Hill doesn't seem to appear on maps until after about 1860.
On matters geological, the BGS map of the area shows a fault line running across the site north south roughly along the line of the underground sewer. The fault seperates Kidderminster formation sandstone from Bromsgrove formation sandstone.
