From the railway (on a grey autumn afternoon), traffic on Tollhouse Way partly obscures the buildings on Smethwick High Street, the north side of which has largely been cleared to make way for the dual carriageway. Smethwick Library peeps into shot on the left, whilst the cream building on the left is a surviving toll-house. The DPD lorry probably originates from the nearby depot in Oldbury.
