Four Arches Bridge
This is the old four arches bridge. Previously, this used to link Webb Lane and the Old Brook Lane. There is evidence of a tunnel under the railway line, but this eventually became disused. The Four Arches bridge now provides a footpath between Coleside Avenue and the Dingles Recreation ground in Hall Green across the River Cole.

Junction of 'Old' Brook Lane with the newer road
Brook Lane is the name given to both parts of the road around here. The white car is parked on what appears to be an older alignment of the lane, and the main thoroughfare is just to the left of the photo, i.e. with the houses fronting onto it. My guess is that the new road was put in, close to the original rural lane, to better serve the area when the houses were built in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

423 Wake Green Road
A typical example of the ilk of 17 Grade II listed 'prefabs' on Wake Green Road, the details of which are at https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101022584-423-wake-green-road-springfield-ward#.WxLU4NQrLGg This one is in as good a condition as any of the others, possibly better than most, and clearly shows the nature and style of the Phoenix 'Portal' model, of which nearly 2500 were erected around the country soon after WWII.
