Wall-mounted Elizabeth II postbox, corner of Church Road and Glasshouse Hill, Oldswinford
The Royal Mail have not installed new wall-mounted postboxes since around 1980, so this one has been here for quite some time. The box was manufactured by W.T. Allen & Co. of London and their name appears at the bottom of the box.

The Labour in Vain, 59 Red Hill, Oldswinford
A large and very long established pub on the corner of Red Hill and Brook Road. In 1822 it was known as The Malt Shovel. Outside it has a standard type Banks's Brewery sign. Originally it had its own sign with an illustration of the presumed origin of its name. This would today be judged offensive by most people and has understandably been removed. However some of the pub's windows, which are regarded as of historic interest, illustrate the same theme.
The large banner displayed on the corner of the pub is nothing to do with the 2010 General Election, but celebrates the pub being the winner in the Stourbridge News Support your Local competition in 2009.

The Cross, Glasshouse Hill, Oldswinford

Televised sporting events can also be watched on three different screens, which are placed so that up to three different events are available at the same time. The walls are decorated with sporting memorabilia.
