Clattercut Lane junction The interestingly named Clattercut Lane joins the Kidderminster - Droitwich road on the northern edge of Cutnall Green.  Judging by internet searches the name of this lane is unique, however nothing appears to explain the origin of the name.

Drained pond at Broad Alley This muddy patch beside the lane at Broad Alley seem to be the site of a small pond, water feature and probably at one time, a ford.  Judging by the muddy state of the area the whole lot has recently been underwater probably due to flash flooding.  The pond is drained at the moment however.
