The Clock Garage, Hodge Hill
This large filling station was built around 2012, replacing a mid-twentieth century garage building that was topped by a large clock. Situated at a busy main junction, it is a well-known landmark and in a nod to the past, the present building also has a clock on front of the shop building and not visible in this shot.

The Dream of the Sphinx, Castle Bromwich
There are sphinxes at the bottom of the garden. One can be seen here reposing on a pillar at a corner of the garden wall at Castle Bromwich Hall, in the suburbs of Birmingham & Solihull. The photo was taken from the wooded area outside the walled garden. The sphinx has a double facing her from the opposite corner, some distance away.
The formal gardens to the west of Castle Bromwich Hall were laid out by the Bridgeman family in stages, starting in 1701. Sir John Bridgeman II bought two limestone sphinx statues in 1745 for £30 and installed them with inscriptions. During the 20th century the Bridgeman family ceased living in the Hall; the gardens became overgrown and the walls and buildings decayed. They have been restored since 1985 by the Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens Trust. The Hall itself is now a hotel and, unlike the gardens, is not open to the public. The garden walls were listed by Historic England in 2020; see their description of the site here https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1472046 .
