Prefabricated barn on Cranmoor Lodge Farm road The barn is a survivor from the days of RAF Perton, a WWII airbase and relief landing ground. It was used to train navigators and bomb-aimers, who would be suspended in a cradle from the roof beams, and expected to familiarise themselves with a scrolling map of the part of Germany that their next mission would be taking them to. It stands by the side of a track between the former airfield (now entirely obliterated by Perton housing estate) and the various dispersal sites, quarters, training areas etc around the lands of Cranmoor Lodge Farm.

Farm road across Cranmoor (1) Cranmoor = Crane Moor = a place where common cranes used to live. They're no longer common, in fact they're as good as extinct in the UK, although the RSPB is beginning a project to reintroduce them in a select few locations. I rather suspect the outskirts of Wolverhampton will not be one of those locations, especially as the land is now given over to wheat and potato fields.

An unidentified vehicle on Cranmoor Apparently abandoned beside the farm track, this vehicle appears to be some sort of wagon for moving people around - it has several rows of seats, under a low roof. Presumably it's been used for carrying farm labour to and from the fields in the past.

Building works at Cranmoor Lodge Farm New buildings and conversion work are going on at the farm. Whilst that happens, the footpath through the farmyard has been formally closed, so it's hard to get a real idea of just what's going on.
