The only place I’ve ever heard referred to as ‘The Knob’ is the remains of Brownhills Colliery off Engine Lane where the old spoil heaps are. Imagery from Google Earth.
I like this one – over the weekend an enquiry came in from friend of the blog Gillian Gaiser, as to the location of a place she members being called Spring Nob.
Gillian has, of course, contributed much to the blog, and I’d like to see the local knowledge ferrets sort this out. Always assuming this isn’t a joke 😉

Hi there Bob!
Gill Gaiser again from Canada!
Interested in what you have to say about memory Bob and it led me to wondering whether anyone might remember/know where the Spring Nob is/was?
I believe it to have been in the Norton Canes area somewhere.
Apparently at one time there were allotments there where local people could put in a garden. Any clues as to where it is located would be gratefully received!
Cheers
Gillian
