Looking east-north-east from Sedgley Road. The "Turf Tavern" was here near the duck pond and kept by Daisy Collins. It closed in about 1916 and has since been converted into private housing - presumably the large building on the left. Could a local historian confirm that, please? http://www.historywebsite.co.uk/articles/PennCommon/Description.htm
