Kineton Green

Seven Star Road, Solihull This is the A41 Solihull Bypass. Although it goes from the centre of London to Birkenhead, lack of trunking means there is hardly any left between Bicester and the West Midlands, and not only was it not replaced with a single alternative number, some is now also a B road, although those parts still cover the same route as before. — Seven Star Road, Solihull Credit: David Howard

Picture taken at 9am on a weekday morning. Perhaps some of these businesses had not yet opened up for the day, or maybe not since the pandemic.

Businesses in Dovehouse Parade, Olton

This busy parade on the main Warwick Road appears to be generally thriving. It seemed that only one unit was vacant when I visited.

Bridge parapet, Lode Lane

Bridge #81 carries Lode Lane over the Grand Union Canal on the north side of Solihull. A metal plaque, visible to the right of this photo, tells us that the bridge was reconstructed in 1957. Parapets in a modernist style were added at this time, with a pattern of squares cast in relief in the concrete. The bridge can be seen here SP1481 : Bridge #81 Lode Lane, Grand Union Canal.

Public footpath, Lode Lane, Solihull

The path runs from Lode Lane to Tanhouse Farm Road and Elmdon Park. It skirts the fenced-off northern side of the Jaguar Land Rover site, one entrance to which can be seen to the right of the fence post. Fenced-off suburban gardens hem the path in on the other side, too. The OS Six Inch 1888-1913 map shows a path running from Lode Lane to the school in Elmdon Park near Elmdon Hall Link

. The first section of the modern path follows this one, but it then turns to the left and follows long-lost field boundaries.

Formerly associated with Pool Farm. Pool drains via an overflow into the nearby Westley Brook, which lies lower.

Pond at Palmers Rough

This pond is situated within the Palmers Rough Local Nature Reserve. It is man-made and probably mid 20th century in origin. It has recently been the subject of a restoration project with the aim of removing silt and debris, restoring water quality and improving the quality of habitat. Access has been improved and there are a couple of good wood-carved artworks.
