Wood End Primary School
Tessa Sanderson, Olympic Javelin Gold medallist, and I attended the school in the 1960s. I believe our memories of the school were somewhat different.

Boys Entrance - Wood End Primary School
The two-storey 1960 block was demolished at the start of the year. Now is the turn of the original 1938 school. A new £2.5M school has been constructed on the playing field. My brother and I were pupils at the school in the 1960s.
The front entrances were not used by pupils in the 1960s with access made from the courtyard to the rear. There was a classroom on the left with headmaster Mr Shannon and school secretary's offices on the right.

Moathouse Lane Bridge
This bridge carries a footpath and cycleway over the Wyrley and Essington Canal. The canal by following the contours has no locks on this section but takes a very meandering route hence its nickname 'Curly Wyrley'.
This bridge has been partially rebuilt and extended as can be seen from the change in brick colour.
