A broad ride is bordered by low clumps of planted trees on probably made-up ground – a pleasant and characteristic scene on this western edge of Chasewater.

Hednesford Road near Brownhills West
The straight road skirts Chasewater country park between pools that speak of the area's coal mining history before reclamation. The lighting to the M6 Toll motorway may just about be seen against the distant woodland, upper left. The near side of the road is the boundary between Lichfield and Cannock Chase districts. In the foreground is the track of the Chasewater Light Railway.

Chasewater Railway - last train of the day
On a round trip from Brownhills West Station. This was the first point where I could cross the track to get the sun on this side. The locomotive is carrying the NCB Western Area legend and is, I believe, North British 0-4-0DH No. 27876 of 1958. It is privately owned.
