Looking south-west towards Stourbridge and Kidderminster, this is the view from the Pensnett Road bridge at the junction with High Street. The line is used for freight only, passenger traffic having ceased in 1962. It was opened in 1858 and used by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway and the South Staffordshire Railway.
