Miles to Lichfield - Shenstone, Staffordshire
Miles to Lichfield - Shenstone, Staffordshire
Standing beside the A5127 Birmingham Road towards Lichfield is this reminder of bygone days. Just beside the turning to the village of Wall - Letocetum SK 0906 - where there are Roman remains it speaks of the 1900s. The X3 Birmingham to Lichfield service which passes by, with modern buses, is operated by National Express West Midlands. Look to the south, to the Holiday Inn complex, and you are immediately pulled back to the 21st century. This stone reads 'SHENSTONE PARISH - LICHFIELD 2 - FOUR OAKS 5 SUTTON COLDFIELD 6 1/4 BIRMINGHAM 13. The link is a Milestones Society one, who are based in the South West, and their material is being transferred over to our Geograph website. Time photo taken 10.35 am GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
