A 1972 K registration Triumph Spitfire MkIV. In the mid-1980s I had a Spitfire 1500, the replacement model. The car looks so small now.

A residential road, off Enville Street (the A458).

As the pub is named after the present owner's grandmother, the photograph on the sign presumably shows her grandparents. The musical instruments beneath, indicate this pub frequently has live music. Image

A very popular pub named after the present owner's grandmother. It is on the corner of Enville Street and Mamble Road, and is one of several to be found along Enville Street. The pub has an interesting website, which includes detailed research on the pub's history by John Richards. According to this, the pub started out as a one-roomed beerhouse in the 1840's. It was known as The Golden Lion. It was in competition with a pub opposite, known as the Bridge Inn, which no longer exists. Both brewed their own beer. From August 1989, for a few years, it was known as The Stourbridge Lion. Today under its present name, the pub offers a range of beers and frequent live music. Image

This is the A458 Stourbridge to Bridgnorth Road. Here is it called Enville Street, but later, as it passes through the Wollaston area, it is known as Bridgnorth Road. On the left can be glimpsed the Wollaston Fish Too shop Image In the far distant on the left are three storey blocks of apartments. All along Enville Street and Bridgnorth Road there is still a generous selection of pubs.

It's difficult for a non-local to know where Wollaston, now a suburb of Stourbridge, ends and where Stourbridge proper begins. But this fish & chip etc shop seems to think it is in Wollaston, so presumably this is more or less where Wollaston begins.
