Dist:0.2km<br/>Although much of the iron and steel industry has gone from the area, there are still some steel related services operating from these industrial units. Many of the older buildings around have been replaced with more modern industrial units and warehouses for a variety of trades and services.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is now the headquarters and fronts the main warehouse of a tile retailer. There are many modern industrial units of various sizes in the area, replacing the former iron industry buildings. Some of the older brick buildings remain as warehouses, or as offices for newer trades.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Surprising to see two pubs so close together outside a town centre.

Dist:0.2km<br/>East of Jibbet Lane Bridge (on Ward Street?); the derelict site on the far bank is the old gas works.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Old Bush and The Orange Tree, two pubs adjoining one another on Ward Street. Once upon a time this was a thriving industrial area, with a need for much quenching of thirsts. Right opposite these two there is also a factory social club, now closed along with much of the local industry.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The pub on the corner of Ettingshall Road and Millfields Road, has barely changed since the photograph taken two years ago: [[[1096843]]]. Even then the sale of failing pubs for conversion to housing, or demolition with the same eventual outcome had been underway for some years. Now, with property prices plummeting and the "credit crunch" affecting developers, one wonders what, if anything, will happen here in the next two years.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The pub on the corner of Ettingshall Road and Millfields Road, has barely changed since the photograph taken two years ago: [[[1096843]]] At that time, many old pubs were being closed and the land sold off for housing. Now, with property prices plummeting and the "credit crunch" affecting developers, one wonders what, if anything, will happen here in the next two years.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The view of the crossroads with Ettingshall Road. The closed Bulls Head Pub is still standing on the corner.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The pub on the corner of Ettingshall Road and Millfields Road, has barely changed since the photograph taken two years ago: [[[268363]]]. At that time the green light was on for property investment, but now, with property prices plummeting and the "credit crunch" affecting developers, one wonders what, if anything, will happen here in the next two years. The amber light is certainly on, if not the red!

Dist:0.3km<br/>Originally built for Elm Energy in the early 1990s this plant was sold to French business SITA in 1998 and eventually closed in 2000. It was designed to take up to 100,000 tyres per year for incineration with energy being sold to Powergen. It proved very unpopular with local residents and never lived up to expectations.
