Two brothers have captured on camera places in Birmingham thought to have inspired Tolkien to create the magical world of Middle Earth.

The brothers said Tolkien never saw the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand where the epic movies were shot and instead drew much inspiration from his childhood memories in England.
