Pear Tree Cottage Inn, Brownhills
Another victim of the recession
From www.thisiswalsallonline.co.uk/news 09/10/08:
Calls have been made for Walsall Council to flex its legal muscle and order the owners of a crumbling Brownhills pub to demolish it.
The Pear Tree Cottage Inn in Pear Tree Lane has been empty for more than three years.
It has fallen rapidly into a state of disrepair and has become a hive of anti-social behaviour.
And because the building is filled with rubbish, concerned neighbours fear it could be the target of an arson attack.

Chasewater Light Railway - narrow gauge railway
It was wet and gloomy with consequent motion artefact on the locomotive. This is a recreation of a National Coal Board underground train with a Ruston diesel locomotive with a flame trapped exhaust towing a man-riding car.

Chasewater Railway - narrow gauge railway
This is a 2' gauge line running a flameproof Ruston diesel locomotive and an NCB man-riding car. I'm pretty sure this was my first ride in one of these.

Chasewater Railway narrow gauge line at Brownhills West Station, Chasewater Country Park, Brownhills, Staffs
The standard gauge heritage Chasewater Railway currently runs for about two miles over former National Coal Board track in the Country Park. The railway also has a short stretch of two foot (610mm) narrow gauge railway. It is seen here near the Brownhills West station. Unfortunately no narrow gauge train was running on this particular day. Photographed through the gate by the end of the line.
