Public domain, southeast corner of Gorsey Lane and Alcester Road, Wythall
The parish council has established a presence here with a noticeboard, a litter bin, a dog waste bin and a village sign and flower box. Just south on the Alcester Road is the police station Image An old map names the area as Wythall Heath: perhaps the lanes were fringed with gorse; perhaps the pastures have been won from poor, gorse-infested land. The Gorsey Lane turning is opposite Brick Kiln Lane, another evocative name, not yet explored.
