The Avenue
Little suggests this is a road apart from an extra set of traffic lights at the junction with Victoria Road and Bushbury Lane. It must come as quite a surprise to other drivers when a car appears out of here. This is a relic of the 1908 Housing Exhibition on the Fallings Park Garden Village. At the end of the road are two pairs of semi-detached properties.

Fallings Park Garden Suburb - Victoria Road
This may have been the face of council housing in the town. An exhibition of housing was held on the Fallings Park 'Triangle' in 1908 with small groups of houses built. The completion of the suburb on 50 acres of Arthur Paget's estate was interrupted by the Great War and more mundane council housing was later built on the prepared sites.

Cannock Road
The old turnpike road on the left was built cutting off a corner which is now preserved in the 20th century housing development. The road sign with a similar one at the other end of 'The Triangle' dates from the Staffordshire County Council period. The sign from pre 1902 is locally listed and was supplied by W H Smith of Whitchurch.
