Sarehole Mill
The Royal Mail is releasing a stamp issue in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Lord of the Rings.
The author's great nephew, Tim Tolkien, has launched the set which features his uncle's own illustrations of Bag End, Fangorn Forest and the Forest of Lothlorien, as well as a map of Middle Earth drawn by JRR Tolkien's son Christopher.
The hand drawn images of Middle Earth were being shown at Birmingham's Sarehole Mill, one of Tolkien's childhood haunts and the inspiration for his writing.
