Route of Wyrley and Essington Canal from Broad Lane, 1986
The line of the Wyrley and Essington Canal heading south-west from Broad Lane, north of Bloxwich. Clearly, by 1986 this stretch of the canal had been filled in and its route was in use as a footpath. That still seems to be the case presently, (in 2021), according to aerial views.

British Trolleybuses - Walsall
Mossley Estate terminus. Walsall Corporation made significant extensions of its trolleybus network into new housing estates up to the 1960s. This is the Mossley Estate terminus. At the time there was no development on the other side of the main road over the photographer's right shoulder. Looking at modern aerial photography sites, the houses appear to have changed little; there is however no sign of a telephone box.
The driver does appear to have set the wrong destination - the correct route number was 31. The trolleybus was one of several purchased second-hand from Ipswich which retained the very small destination display - virtually illegible at a reasonable distance.

Bus turning circle, Mossley Estate
Located on Cresswell Crescent (left) just south of its junction with the north end of Tintern Crescent, this turning circle was constructed for the trolleybuses that served the Mossley from its construction until the trolleys were replaced by motorbuses in 1970. The 301, the modern day equivalent of the 31 trolleybus route, still turns here, and is one of the most frequent bus services in Walsall; I obviously arrived at a quiet moment.
