The King George V at Bescot, Walsall
This large three roomed public house was built in 1936 by Mitchells and Butlers brewery. It can be very crowded on a Saturday when Walsall are playing at home in the local stadium. The games room has a display of traditional pub games.

Housing and hotel in Bescot Road, Walsall
This row looks like a prime candidate for redevelopment. Even in the 1960s many of the dwellings were used as flats and bedsits, and the Abberley Hotel here is boarded up and disused. Some of the smaller terraced houses at the far end, and off to the right appear to be in good condition and privately owned now. I lived along here for a year or so in 1970-1971 but can't remember whether it was No 21 or 25, at the far end.

Housing in Bescot Road in Pleck, Walsall
These two semi-detached cottages (privately owned?) have been maintained to a good standard, though other properties off to the right are dilapidated and disused. I'm sure I lived in one of these c1970, just for a year or so, but I need to remember which one.

South on the railway line from the overbridge
At the point where the A4148 Walsall ring road crosses the line that runs from Walsall town centre, past Bescot Stadium Station (which serves the football ground) and on to join the West Coast Main Line into Birmingham New Street. It looks like track replacement works are in progress a couple of hundred yards away on the single track on the right, which leads to West Bromwich.
