The view from the corner of Newton Road.

A rather magnificent late 18th century town house, now converted to flats, which was Grade II listed https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101342670-fairyfield-house-fairyfield-court-charlemont-with-grove-vale-ward#.WzMw7NJKhPY as early as 1949.

The view west down the eastbound carriageway as Newton Road descends from the A34 junction. Monksfield Avenue is nearby on the right. An early morning (it's 7.30am, Sunday) jogger is on the right, between the sign and the trees.

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).

This high bridge carries the A4041 over the canal and is pretty wide.

Here on Newton Road, the A4041 between West Bromwich and the A452 Chester Road on the western edge of Sutton Park, is where a path leads downwards to the towpath of the Tame Valley Canal. The canal was authorised in 1839 and it opened in 1844, the engineer being James Walker. It is 8.5 miles long with the 13 Perry Barr Locks and runs from Tame Valley Junction with the Walsall Canal. At Salford Junction, its other terminus, it connects with the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and the Grand Union Canal. At Perry Locks the level drops by 106 feet. With plentiful public transport it makes and ideal day or half-day walk. Source: Wikipedia. Time taken not available.
