Newton Road A4041 3 - Great Barr, Birmingham
A view westwards on the A4041 Newton Road which runs from West Bromwich to the western edge of Sutton Park, where it joins the A452 Chester Road. This photo was taken at the junction of Newton Road with Fairyfield Avenue. The bus is the No 5 which runs from Sutton Coldfield to West Bromwich via New Oscott, Kingstanding, Queslett and Newton and is one of those services operated by National Express West Midlands. One of the advantages of living in the West Midlands is the superb public transport system. Time taken 1.53 pm BST (British Summer Time).

Boater's view of Chimney Bridge, Tame Valley canal
This Grade 2 listed structure shows how deep the cutting is. This footbridge, formerly a road bridge, carries Green Lane over the Tame Valley Canal and was built in 1844.

Tame Valley Canal - Chimney Bridge
This is a footbridge, formerly a road bridge, carrying Green Lane over the Tame Valley Canal. It is Listed Grade II but what I am seeing does not match the listing - "Single very shallow segmental arch. Sides, above girders, pierced to form lattice pattern of saltire crosses". I think it has been rebuilt.
