Upper Gungate, also known as the A513, forms one of the main routes north out of Tamworth.

A fourth defibrillator seen on my afternoon out in Tamworth here in Upper Gungate. This one is sited on the outside of the building occupied by the Tamworth Co-op Funeral Service. No smart remarks please. On some of these machines you need to call a number first for the entry code, which must delay things somewhat but prevents possible damage or misuse. What perhaps is needed is a map of locations where these machines are sited. Time photo taken 3.42 pm BST (British Summer Time).
