Dist:0.1km<br/>Over the years there has been a rash of large advertising signs appearing between M6 Junction 9 and the M5 junction. These are sited around the Bescot Stadium or brown field sites next to the motorway. The motorway is on a raised viaduct across the River Tame flood plain.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Saddler's moved to a new stadium here from the nearby Fellow's Park [[20055]]. Congratulations to Walsall who have been promoted this season from Coca-Cola League 2 as Champions. They are the smallest of the league clubs in an area with Championship neighbours Wolves and West Bromwich Albion.

Dist:0.2km<br/>View SE, towards Bescot, Aston and Birmingham New Street; ex-London & North Western. The train, with LMS Fowler 3P No. 40066, is curving away from the main Grand Junction line at Bescot No. 3 Box, beyond which is the large marshalling yard. Nowadays the M6 Motorway crosses right over here.

Dist:0.3km<br/>56071 brings a loaded Merry-Go-Round train into Bescot from the Wolverhampton direction. The road visible above the loco is St. Pauls Road and St. Pauls church is visible in the distance. The large brown factory building and its companions behind the train have been demolished since this photo was taken - there is just brown earth visible on Google maps today.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Not many commuters today, possibly because there are not enough trains on the Walsall service. In the shadow of the M6 viaduct.
