Presumably the 3 ton maximum gross weight restriction is intended to prevent large vehicles from using Nuthurst Crescent as a short cut from Birmingham Road (foreground) to Tunnel Road.

The Lord Nelson Inn, Ansley
The Lord Nelson Inn in Ansley village is a true free house, family owned - as it has been for many years - and not in the hands of a pub company or other corporate entity. Consequently it can pursue its own policies which include brewing its own beers (the Sperrin brewery). Ansley is lucky to have such a place within its community.

Daw Mill Mining Memorial
Warwickshire never had a high profile as a mining county compared with the likes of Yorkshire, Durham or Glamorgan. Yet it was important right to the end - Daw Mill was one of the very last deep coal mines in Britain to close. It finally did so in 2013, a year earlier than planned due to an underground fire, with the loss of about 650 jobs. In 2017 one half of one of the pit wheels was erected as a memorial here in the middle of a traffic roundabout on the edge of Ansley village. Mining is a just a memory now in these parts but not one that will be easily forgotten. See this YouTube video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JfQNORlvb0.
