Shenstone Pumping Station Yet another South Staffordshire Water Works Company pumping station. Was once steam and has a truncated chimney. The diesel engine radiator in the main doorway (that big white rectangle) is most unsympathetic. The steam engines were installed in 1892 and 1893 (according to a company list) and were Hathorn, Davey horizontal tandem compound, rotative, surface condensing pumping engines. They were removed in 1957.

Muddy Field and Toll Road A gantry on the M6 Toll Road can be seen at the far side of this field. A footpath is indicated on the map but given the uninviting mud it is not surprising that it doesn't appear to be that well used.

Bridges over the Black Brook A sandstone bridge with concrete bridge behind carry the A38 dual carriageway. The more modern bridge leads up to the steel truss bridge carrying a bridleway over the A38. These new bridges have not yet been picked up on the OS mapping. I am told that the metal ledges are for otters who don't like getting their feet wet when it floods!
