Shannon Road turning circle, Hawkesley
Despite the presence of this turning circle, buses terminating here on routes 27 and 35 run out of service via Longdales Road to a roundabout to turn round. As the bus stop is still in the turning circle (right), buses still pass through it, effectively using it as a large layby.

Hawkesley, residential housing
From Longdales Road, looking across leisure centre grounds, towards two blocks of flats on Branch Road.
On the skyline, directly ahead (to right of flats) is a green 'mound' - this is actually the small group of trees that is 'Frankley Beeches' 3 miles or so away.

Bracken Way, Hawkesley
A Birmingham suburb that I had to traverse while walking over Wast Hills from one end of the eponymous Worcester & Birmingham Canal tunnel to the other. The only sensible and legal way through the tunnel is by powered boat (unpowered craft are prohibited).
