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 Brown Jug pub has closed and is boarded up. I have no information on the future of the building. SJ9700 : The former Brown Jug (2) - sign, 52 Sandbeds Road, Shortheath, Willenhall.

Lane Head Bridge, Wyrley & Essington Canal

A rather weak rainbow forms an arch over the bridge that carries the A462 over the canal. Through the bridge a narrowboat can be seen, moored outside the United Kingdom Inn.

Mining landscape, Bentley Lane

The bings and scrub south of Rough Wood was landscaped as a golf course around 1990, but it never opened. It is now growing into woodland and becoming more alike Rough Wood itself over the canal.
