Picture taken from SO 84089 73933,the north-west corner of the square looking south south-east towards Stanklyn Lane. The clearly defined path following the field boundary is not a right of way and thus does not appear on the Ordnance Survey maps of the area. The railway is the main line between Kidderminster and Worcester.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The pub has received this new sign, with a traditional design, in the last couple of years. It had an entirely different one, when photographed by Ian Capper in December 2009:- [[1622417]]. [[2542044]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>This popular food-focused pub is part of the Chef & Brewer chain. It is on the corner of Stanklyn Lane and the busy Worcester Road (the A449). It is very near to Kidderminster and well-placed to catch passing trade, which it successfully does. [[2542059]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>A "tin tabernacle" (or more properly an "iron church"), which were produced in large numbers from 1870 onwards, into the early 20th Century. They were built with a timber frame, clad with galvanised and corrugated iron, and lined with tongue and groove boarding. Prepared as prefabricated kits, they were also exported to many countries overseas. The last service was held at St John's in 1994, shortly before it was badly damaged by strong winds. A planning permission application for demolition and replacement by a house was turned down in 2007, and it remains vacant and unused.
