Accident black-spot near Newborough, Staffordshire. A plethora of road signs and markings warn road users of the crossroads that has become an accident black-spot and has sadly claimed many lives over the years. The image is taken from the B5234 Abbots Bromley to Burton upon Trent road, looking towards Needwood. The A515 Lichfield to Ashbourne road crosses right to left. At the junction, the view right towards Lichfield is reasonable. However, the view left towards Ashbourne is not clear until the road user is right on the junction, due to the acute angle of the roads and even then, visibility is further reduced by the traffic from the left approaching at speed down a short, steep hill. Vicar's Hill Farm can be clearly seen on the skyline.

Tatenhill Airfield near Needwood, Staffordshire. Tatenhill Airfield was opened in the War by the RAF as a training base and closed to military flying not long after hostilities ceased. Today it is in private hands and very well used by light aircraft. The sign states that the airfield is out of bounds to the public and also warns about the potential dangers of an active aerodrome. The light aircraft in the distance are parked on a former runway, next to a hangar. Although Tatenhill Airfield is in the parish of Tatenhill, its main hangar and buildings are three miles WNW of the village of Tatenhill and are actually closer to the hamlet of Needwood. The land the airfield is built on is owned by The Duchy of Lancaster (HM The Queen).

Entrance to the English FA's new training centre, Needwood, Staffordshire. The English FA's new training centre has been built on the former parkland of Byrkley Lodge, near Needwood. It has been modelled on the French equivalent at Clairfontaine and comprises of eleven training pitches. However, over the past couple of years, it has been beset by financial problems and wrangles at Lancaster Gate and so at present, it is a scaled down version of the original plan. The pitches are in place; however, it still lacks the planned buildings, particularly accommodation. It has yet to be used by the England football team but Burton Albion FC, the local Conference League side make full use of its facilities for daily training sessions.
