Short Heath Basin
Built in 1906 by the Hollybank Colliery as a colliery wharf and landsale. A mineral railway was constructed directly from the pit in Essington to eliminate the locks on the Wyrley Branch of the Curly Wyrley. The facility remained in use until the closure of the Hilton Main Colliery in the late 1960s.
A landsale was a site where coal was stockpiled to meet seasonal demand with local sale to coal merchants.
Short Heath Landsale
Following the former colliery railway to the landsale and basin at Short Heath.

The Bridge Tavern, Lane Head
Very appropriately named, as it sits practically on the bridge over the Curly Wyrley cut.
All gone!
The site of the former Lane Heath Methodist Church - all that's left is a rather sad wooden sign just inside the chain-link fence, to give away the identity of the church that formerly occupied the site.

The former Brown Jug (1), 52 Sandbeds Road, Shortheath, Willenhall
The Brown Jug pub has closed and is boarded up. I have no information on the future of the building.

The sign of this closed pub is still present, on top of a post in the front car park, adjacent to Sandbeds Road.

The Cross Guns, 43 Lichfield Road, Wednesfield
This public house has closed and I have no information as to the future use of the building. The post outside, which used to hold the pub's sign, has had its top removed, which is probably not a good sign for any possible re-opening plan. The windows at the front have also been changed.
Edward the Elder Nursery School, Lichfield Road, Wednesfield
Named after King Edward the Elder who was the son of King Alfred the Great. He ruled the Kingdom of Wessex and later Mercia also, in the early 10th century. He is chiefly remembered today for a decisive battle when the Danes were defeated. It is believed to have been fought somewhere in the vicinity of Wednesfield.
The Vine Inn (1), 35 Lichfield Road, Wednesfield
Stepping into this pub is like going into a time warp. It was built in 1938, replacing an older pub on the same site. However it feels more Victorian than 1930's. It still has many original features, two bars and does excellent food at a very reasonable price. It has now become one of the Black Country Ales pubs, having previously been run by the same family for about 40 years.

This view shows part of the windows of one of the pub's two bars. Of course smoke rooms are no longer allowed, but it's nice that the window retains its sign as a reminder of times past.

The Vine Inn (3), 35 Lichfield Road, Wednesfield
Interesting details above the pub's front entrance. The pub used to also have its name in large red lettering at the top of the front of the building. The woodwork around the windows was in a matching colour, but these features appear to have changed when the pub became a Black Country Ales house in around 2008.

The Vine Inn (4) - sign, 35 Lichfield Road, Wednesfield
The Vine is a fairly common name for pubs and inns and refers to the plant from which grapes are obtained and then fermented to produce wine.
The sign is on a post at the edge of the car park by Lichfield Road. Although a Black Country Ales pub, it is the brewery's policy for their pubs to offer a large range of real ales selected from a wide range of small breweries, as well as their own. This always makes a visit to any of their pubs an interesting experience!
