Edward VIII Postbox
This listed postbox is at the corner of Burland Avenue and Aldersley Road. It is unusual in that only 161 were cast and very few are known to remain in use.

Smestow Brook crossing the Tunstall Water Bridge
The Smestow Brook is carried over the Staffs & Worcs Canal on this brick arch bridge. The brook was not diverted into the canal as it powered mills further downstream. This was taken after wet weather when levels were high.

Wolverhampton, EVIIIR postbox
Unusual Edward the Eighth postbox at the junction of Aldersley Road & Burland Avenue; at a previous visit, the front of the box was obscured by the litterbin. Perhaps the Post Office has told the shopkeeper to move it; this is just being done. For a close-up of the royal cypher, see

The track has long since gone, and the bed is now used as a leisure walkway, linking with Smestow Valley Nature Reserve and the South Staffordshire Railway Walk to Kingswinford.
