The Old Stag's Head by Penn Common near Wolverhampton
The Old Stag's Head is in Pennwood Lane at the junction with Sedgley Road and Church Hill. The pub is closed and looking ever more dilapidated as planning schemes for its development are refused. It is seen here just before sunset, as the light fades.
Manor Road in Penn, Wolverhampton
The austere looking house on the right is The Hollies. Muchall Park is behind the mature trees on the left. The single track lane links the A449 Penn Road with Mount Road by Penn Cricket Club.
The green at Penn Bowling Club, Wolverhampton
Penn Bowling and Social Club is a well run club for local people. In addition to the bowling, activities include darts, dominoes, poker, bingo, crib, pool, salsa dancing and (of course) large screen TV to watch football. Oh, nearly forgot! It has a bar too, which serves Banks's Bitter and Mild, plus three guest real ales - all superbly kept.
update August 2018 - There is a defibrillator stationed here by the main entrance to the club.

It has a good bar too, which serves Banks's Bitter and Mild, plus three hand-pulled guest real ales - all superbly kept. People occasionally drink lager, I'm told. ;-)

A449 Dual Carriageway, Penn
Where the Tesco store is over the road, the site used to be a Petrol Station until a few years ago.
Woodlands Walk in Penn, Wolverhampton
This is a surprisingly secluded strip of open grass and woodland just off the busy A449 dual carriageway of Penn Road and enclosed between Lancaster Gardens and Wells Road. To find it, follow the footpath alongside the Roebuck public house.

Tree avenue in Muchall Park, Wolverhampton
This is a telephoto assisted image from near Penn Road 150 metres away.
These very mature trees have a children's hummocky grass play area by them. Lovely to roll, crawl and grovel and thrutch, especially through the tunnel.

Antique shop in Penn, Wolverhampton
There is a short row of small shops between the Roebuck and (former) Fox and Goose public houses. The Jet service station has long been demolished and replaced by a Tesco Express store which has been allowed to encroach on the Fox and Goose's car park, probably destroying that establishment's chances of re-opening as a public house. The Tesco store has done no favours to local small shopkeepers, but Tesco's wouldn't admit (or care about) that, would they.

It has a bar too, which serves Banks's Bitter and Mild, plus three guest real ales - all superbly kept (Roger, the steward has retired, but the current one keeps the ale perfectly too).
Note the ale on offer on the centre pump. Alan Brough has just resumed brewing his bitter and pale ales in his new set-up at the former Springfield brewery in Wolverhampton.
Update December 2023: There are now four handpumps; the ales remain excellent, and the club is in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.
update August 2018 - There is a defibrillator stationed here by the main entrance to the club.
another note: Andy Brough has ceased brewing!
