The River Sowe flows away from the railway viaduct near Willenhall, southeast Coventry
The woodland downstream is named Rock Spinney on the OS 1:25 000 map. It's stretch of the river where both banks are inaccessible, which must be of benefit to wildlife.

Neighbourhood centre, Willenhall, Coventry
Exploring the Sowe valley is hungry work. Having asked directions to the shops and having paid no attention to the map, I was astonished to find myself in Willenhall, a place I knew only by name. This photo is a record of that moment, which was accompanied by the certainty that I would return.

Robin Hood Road, Willenhall
Willenhall is based around a large council housing estate mainly built in the post Second World War period. Today it is among the 5% most deprived areas in England. Nevertheless, there is a strong community spirit here, embodied in the Betty Ennis Foundation, a charity named after a well-known community activist who died in 2019 that seeks to improve the lives of local people. The Betty Ennis Hub, part of Willenhall's shopping precinct, sells upcycled homeware items and home accessories as part of the charity's activities. The building has been used as a charity shop for some time but previously housed Willenhall Library (which moved to a different site nearby).
