Dist:0.5km<br/>The Severn Trent booster station on Ounty John Lane. This is part of the local water supply network rather than the Elan Aqueduct, though that passes only a short distance to the south.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The path is joined by the North Worcestershire Way.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking North east from where three counties meet. This is Dudley, right on the edge of the conurbation and therefore still agricultural. This was Worcestershire before the 1974 boundary changes created West Midlands. Dudley was designated in 1986.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Another part of the Elan Valley Aqueduct, this structure marks where it changes direction (heading almost due east from here, but south down this hill before bearing west again towards Cookley).

Dist:0.6km<br/>This footpath forms the boundary between Staffordshire (left) and Dudley MBC (right). I am standing in Worcestershire, facing North. The group of walkers approaching were from Halesowen and were interested in the concept of Geograph. I hope they log on and find themselves!! Where this lane leaves the A 451 at SO886819 it is called County Lane. Reference to the historic map shows that this was the boundary between Worcestershire and Staffordshire. West Midlands was created in the 1974 boundary changes and in this area it took a substantial chunk of Worcestershire, including Stourbridge. In 1986 the West Midlands Council was disbanded and replaced by six unitary authorities including Dudley. Even earlier it was the course of a Roman Road.
