Roman Road near Stourbridge, Dudley

It is hard to imagine that this scene is about thirty metres from the housing (off to the right) in Clent View Road in Norton, Stourbridge. Looking north along Roman Road (also known as Sandy Lane), there is pasture and woodland off to the left behind the hedge. The route is not actually Roman in origin. It was constructed in the 18th century as part of a turnpike (toll) road linking Kidderminster and Dudley. (information - K. James, BSc). The course of the former Roman Road between Droitwich and Greensforge is about a hundred metres off to the left.
