Bells Lane turning circle, Druids Heath
Built into the junction with Druids Lane (foreground), this turning circle is the outer terminus for route 50, which is probably still the most frequent bus route in Britain (in terms of frequency along the whole route). Because of the route's high frequency, it was once usual to find two or three buses sitting in the turning circle during the day, but when I took this picture the buses weren't hanging around.

Bell's Farmhouse, Walker's Heath
A remarkable survivor in the middle of the urban landscape; this is a late 16th century timber-framed farmhouse (at one time in the relatively recent past it was rendered in roughcast cement, but this has been removed), which contains a number of original features internally. It was Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101075751-bells-farmhouse-brandwood-ward#.XygzSChKjcs & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1075751 in 1952. It's now in use for educational purposes.

Disused petrol filling station, Bells Lane
A fairly modern but closed filling station in Bells Lane. It is probably no coincidence that a large supermarket has opened further along Bells Lane at the Maypole junction!
