Bus lay by, Pendeford Mill Lane, Bilbrook
Looking rather like a turning circle, but not large enough for turning a bus. I believe this was the terminus of the long withdrawn bus route from Wolverhampton that reached Bilbrook by way of Whitmore Reans, Blakeley Green, and Barnhurst Lane (number 537 in 1983). The timetable case at the stop contained a timetable for routes 88 and 88A from Stafford to Codsall when I visited, but I doubt those routes still exist.

Detail on sign on village green
Celebrating the manufacture of the wartime Boulton Paul Defiant night fighter nearby in Pendeford.
The Defiant was built to meet an RAF specification for a 'turret' fighter to intercept formations of unescorted bombers. The weight of the turret and additional crewman together with minimal front armament left the plane vulnerable to frontal attack from the newer fighters.
