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.

View from Horton Lane

Looking NNW across the square towards Broad Common. The line of trees running across the picture and behind the converted barn marks the route of the line from Worcester to Kidderminster and Stourbridge - originally the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway.

Bannut Tree Farm is situated in the "v" of the road junction between Clattercut Lane and the Droitwich - Kidderminster Road just to the north of Cutnall Green.

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.

Hampton Farm

The farm buildings have now been converted for residential use - seen from public footpath along the farm track.
