Dist:0.4km north<br/>The railway line from Stourbridge Junction to Birmingham was an afterthought, with an enforced steep gradient up to Rowley Regis. A Birmingham-bound train has just crested the summit and is passing the loop tracks provided for steam-era freight trains to apply and release wagon hand brakes. Until the 1990s, there was a rail-served oil depot on the left of the lines.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>Curiously genteel name for a road which acts as an overflow car park for the railway station and has a very large Travis Perkins builders' depot on one side.
