Signs, bridge parapet, Highbridge Road, Wylde Green
The pointing hand-crafted sign reads 'for Boldmere's high st'. Well, it's a fair walk but the shops and services in Boldmere High Street have everything needed for life in the 'burbs.

North end of Wylde Green station
There are footpaths to and from Highbridge Road at this end of the station. The departing London Midland train is for Lichfield; the train arriving is for Birmingham New Street and Redditch. Fast and frequent - this is how all public transport should be.

Mixed housing, Eastern Road, Wylde Green
Behind the camera, a two-storey brick terrace of twenty or more little houses; out-of-shot right, splendid three-storey semi-detached villas. Houses in Wylde Green show a variety of styles, reflecting the period in which they were built, contemporary taste and demand. There is also a range of scales: single plots as here, and larger sites comprising many dwellings: a street or a whole estate.
