"Duke of Sutherland" Cottage, Main Road, Ketley Bank, Oakengates
A typical "Duke of Sutherland" cottage, would appear to be a "house style" for the Lilleshall Company of Shropshire. There are many examples in this area.

The Stafford Arms
It's not entirely clear whether this establishment is still trading. It looks a little run down since

Hartshill Bus station, Oakengates
Although only a small town, Oakengates had, in the 1960s, two small bus stations. Here in the Hartshill station, a Bedford of G. Cooper waits with a local service to Priorslee. It is a pity this picture was in black and white, as Cooper used a brilliant orange livery, with a brown stripe.

The Hare and Hounds, Ketley
This pub is on the 1889 map, named the Omnibus. It was extended and renamed a few years ago, replacing real history with false. The old two-storey building stands above a clutter of added dining rooms on the left and lavatories on the right.
The unwisdom of changing a pub's name can be seen on the sign outside

Hare and Hounds pub sign
Of course, when you rename your pub after a rural pursuit you don't count on the sport being banned, do you? Hence this sign, showing a picture of the pub, instead of something more blood-thirsty. Thoroughly modern, to the energy-saving lamp above it.
To be fair, there is a picture on the pub itself, showing an enormous hare in the foreground, a tiny huntsman in a red coat on a horse in the background (that's fox-hunting, surely?), and some tiny specks that might be hounds, in the distance.
