Heading west here, the road forks, with Castlecroft Road (foreground) diverging from Finchfield Road West. The junction was formerly a little way further east; the demolition of the New Inn in the 1970s allowed the installation of a roundabout, just out of frame to the right. The terminus of Wolverhampton Corporation trolleybus route 12 was about here; the trolleybuses turned left into Coppice Road (to the right of the photographer), then reversed highly awkwardly across the oncoming traffic into Castlecroft Road before heading back to town. The other reversing triangles on the Wolverhampton system were arranged so that the trolleybuses reversed into side streets on the nearside rather than out of them.
