SP0775 : Public domain, southeast corner of Gorsey Lane and Alcester Road, Wythall

taken 10 years ago, near to Wythall, Worcestershire, England

Public domain, southeast corner of Gorsey Lane and Alcester Road, Wythall
Public domain, southeast corner of Gorsey Lane and Alcester Road, Wythall
The parish council has established a presence here with a noticeboard, a litter bin, a dog waste bin and a village sign and flower box. Just south on the Alcester Road is the police station SP0775 : Part-time police station, Alcester Road, Wythall. An old map names the area as Wythall Heath: perhaps the lanes were fringed with gorse; perhaps the pastures have been won from poor, gorse-infested land. The Gorsey Lane turning is opposite Brick Kiln Lane, another evocative name, not yet explored.
