Blackfirs Lane, Bickenhill, with young monkey puzzle tree
Blackfirs Lane has houses down one side and no pavement, but traffic is light as it is a dead end street for motor vehicles. A cycle and foot path connect it to the business park to the east. An Araucaria or monkey puzzle tree has been planted in a raised bed in a driveway and casts its intricate shadow on the tarmac.

Blackfirs Lane, Marston Green
This part of Blackfirs Lane is still open to traffic, mostly as access for the residents of the houses on its south side. It's gated off at the eastern end, pretty much where the converging parallels of the road come together, and beyond that is purely pedestrian access for walkers/cyclists from the industrial parks who often stroll to
Image for lunch.

Esso liquid fuel pipeline marker
There was one of these either side of Bickenhill Road. There must be a connection with Birmingham Airport which is about one kilometre south of here. Web site about pipeline markers here http://www.linewatch.co.uk/

The sad remains of Bickenhill Lane
A short stretch of the former single carriageway Bickenhill Lane, now bypassed by the new B4438 dual carriageway, and cut off at each end by fences or gates. It's clearly used as something of a dumping ground for road-repairing materials.
