Areley Kings Methodist Church This tin tabernacle is on the NE corner of Astley Cross on the southern edge of what is now the Areley Kings area of Stourport.  At one time Areley Kings would have been a significant village in its own right.

This church is situated diagonally opposite <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/218686">SO8069 : The Astley Cross Inn</a> at this crossroads.

The Astley Cross Inn I'm not sure whether the builder had been imbibing when this pub was built or whether is as a result of subsequent subsidence that nothing appears to be quite perpendicular or at right angles on this building.  It's certainly not my camera!

Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn This is part of Nelson Road. On the left, behind the metal railings, is Stourport Marina. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1373705">SO8169 : Entrance to Stourport Marina, Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn</a>. Apart from giving access to the marina, Nelson Road serves as one of the main roads through a dreary industrial estate, near the River Severn, and tucked well away from the main part of the town. There is little point in coming down here unless you have specific business with one of the firms based on the estate.

Stourport Marina Clubhouse, Nelson Road, Stourport-on-Severn The Marina's Clubhouse and restaurant is open to visitors as well as members, and is licensed. The signs proclaim the lunchtime Sunday Carvery, but you would have to know this place exists, as "passing trade" would be virtually non-existent. These premises are right at the far end of the Sandy Lane Industrial Estate.
