This row of shops stands at the east end of Springhill Lane, where it meets Penn Road on the southern boundary of Wolverhampton (note the "Welcome..." sign behind the Give Way sign on the right). The small car park was once a turning area for trolleybuses, which described a fairly gentle pear shape to turn in this road junction. Traces of a later bus turning circle, presumably installed when Penn Road became a dual carriageway, are slowly being eradicated by realignments to the pavement. Buses have not normally terminated here since the early 1990s, and when they did, latterly they turned using the large roundabout just over the boundary into South Staffordshire.
