Pillar box, Vicarage Road (Wednesfield)
Outside what was once a corner shop. The shop was famous for hardly ever having any stock, we were constantly reminded of it when on holiday in Romania just after the coup in 1989.

Vicarage Road in Spring
The northern half of the street is a mix of sometimes damp terraced houses (built 1895) and former council stock. Houses with a roof over their door would have been municipal stock around 1990 when the council houses were refurbished. Right to buy houses would have missed this.

Vicarage Road, Wednesfield
Tree lined residential street, although infamously one of the trees did once end up in somebody's house. The flats are now blue.

Memories of the 'Cottage Homes'
A modern housing estate now occupies the site of the 'Cottage Homes'. These homes originally housed pauper children and were later used as local authority children's homes before closing in the 1960s.

Vicarage Road in Spring
The southern part of the street has large detached or semi detached houses while around the corner is a mix of old council stock and 1890s terraces. At least one of these terraces is rather damp.
The trees have mostly survived despite fears of root damage when cable TV was installed in the early 1990's. There was one about where I was standing, but it fell victim to a storm.
