Former lodge to Fernwood Grange, Fernwood Road, Sutton Coldfield
The building, now a private dwelling, is at the corner of Fernwood Road and Chester Road. The latter must be the street address given the 3-digit number on the front door. There is an excellent article about Fernwood Grange here: https://sclhrg.org.uk/history-spot/104-articles-121-160/1992-fernwood-148.html

Dead fox by Chester Road, Sutton Coldfield
These houses have long rear gardens that back on to other long rear gardens: plenty of living space for foxes.

Failure
Fosseway Drive, B23, viewed from the car park of The Greyhound. Built on the edge of Sutton Coldfield, around the time it became part of Birmingham, the blocks lie empty awaiting demolition. Well, I thought they were empty, but I've now discovered there are a few people still living there...

Garden centre coffee shop, Chester Road, north Birmingham
A branch of Hall's Garden Centre https://www.hallsgardencentre.com/about-halls-garden-centre Sited on the corner of busy Chester Road and Antrobus Road, the coffee shop seems to be the destination while the garden centre to the rear is almost an add-on, notwithstanding the variety and quality of the goods. The building is a former pub, first shown on a map of 1937; on maps of the 1960s and 70s it's labelled New Oscott Tavern.
