New Pear Tree Inn, Cannock Road
The 'Pear Tree Inn', a landmark on the town boundary, was until recently branded as the 'Millhouse'. It is refreshing to see that the new management chain has reverted to the original name. For many years this was the terminus for the trolleybuses with a turning circle in the Cannock Road.

New Pear Tree Inn
A hostelry has stood on this site for many years. The current building was built in 1937 to serve the expansion in trade as the neighbouring Scotlands Estate and private housing developed. The pub marked the terminus of the trolleybus route. The licensee was Bert Adey the noted local boxer, trainer, second and promoter. Contests were held in the field behind the pub drawing crowds of up to 3000. Bert retired after almost half a century. The pub recently reverted to the Pear Tree name after several years as the Millhouse.

Berry Brook Farm (former New Pear Tree)
The pub has been closed for over a month to be refurbished and rebranded to the 'Farmhouse Inns' brand. Greene King acquired the pub as part of the takeover of the Spirit Pub Company in 2015.
The Berry Brook is the old name for the nearby Waterhead Brook and was also used to rebrand the Underhill Primary School.

Former police houses
Built in the mid 1950s alongside the small estate of private houses on Belton Avenue. These lie between the contemporary Long Knowle and Underhill Estates.

Parade of shops - Belton Avenue
Contemporary with the estate of mid 1950s housing. The middle shop now occupied by the fast food outlet was once the local butchers with sawdust on the floor.
How long Tasty's will last is open to question as there seems to have been a new owner every year.
