St Peter's church, Walsall
Built (and consecrated) in 1841 to the Early English style, this is the local parish church. Major repair works, particularly to the tower, have been undertaken in the last few years. It was built in 1830/40, consecrated in 1841, extended by the addition of the chancel in 1910 and Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101077168-church-of-st-peter-birchills-leamore-ward#.YG7yG-hKjcs & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1077168 in 1986.

The British Oak, Walsall
Unlike the thriving 'Pretty Bricks' pub a few yards up the road this former Banks' pub on John Street has fallen on very hard times. In 2013 a planning application to turn it into student accommodation was turned down on the grounds that the area is too industrial. It is now not only derelict but has at some point been gutted by fire. This view from four years earlier shows the pub disused but in a better state than it is now: Image

The Pretty Bricks, Walsall
Storm Ciara, reputedly the worst for seven years, was in full swing sending gusts of wind and rain squalls down the street but at least this pub offered a dry and welcoming refuge. It dates from 1845 and is more properly known as the New Inn but takes its popular name from the glazed bricks around the front ground floor windows. It is now part of the Black Country Ales portfolio.
