Recently trimmed trees line Grafton Road, on which the houses date from roughly the 1950s.

Rear access to the houses on Grafton Road, and to the garages that many of them have erected in their back gardens.

Located on the junction of Taylor's Lane and St Clement's Lane, this was formerly known as Grant Hall, and has been occupied by the Mission Church since the late 1960s. The name is taken from a combination of the Gospel Temperance Movement and the Blue Ribbon Army, who held a four-week long mission in West Brom in 1882.

As part of the extensive redevelopment works around West Brom town centre, the former underpass at this large roundabout (known as the 'Grade Separated Interchange') was replaced in 2012 by this rather striking cable-stayed bridge.

The Lyne Purl Well is situated in a recessed front garden in Stoney Lane. From time immemorial, it was a source of water for the earliest inhabitants of West Bromwich. It was described as "a hollow tree trunk lining a well of soft water". It is documented in 1606, when the Manor court forbid the washing of  “filthy clothes or beasties bellies”.  The spring still runs underneath, but is now capped. It bears a lions head and stone inscription which read "Presented by Alderman J.J.Grant J.P. to the town of West Bromwich May 1956"
