Willenhall, The Bear
Modern pub at the corner of St James Lane & Wroxall Avenue. Internally, bar to left, drinking area to right, games room (pool) to rear; TV, music (very loud), games machines. No cask ale available at my visit, despite the sign outside; appears to be a male preserve.

Whitefriars Housing office for Willenhall tenants, St James' Lane, southeast Coventry
There is a small depot behind for the Homeworks housing repairs team. The scrubby woodland at the back has developed in recent years. From the 1930s to the 1970s the land is shown on old maps as a market garden and later as a nursery. This office may be the building that appears around 1980. A view from the west is

Open land at the corner of Stretton Avenue and Dunsmore Avenue, Willenhall, Coventry
Dunsmore Avenue runs across the picture, climbing left to right. The dense growth of scrub is on a strip of land running back from St James' Lane. A map of 1938 shows a small building on it, identified in 1947 as greenhouses and the land as 'Market Garden'. From the 1950s to the 1970s it is shown as 'Nursery'; a building appears at the front of the site. On a map of 1982 the site is unidentified and by 1992 carries tree symbols. Bollards at the edge of the trees, right, suggest public access.
