Junction between the main line of the Walsall canal and the town arm, which bears off towards the right of the picture for its short stretch to the basin which now provides the setting for Walsall Art Gallery.

Two different lichens growing on the bark of a mature tree in Wightwick Manor gardens.

View over some of the heath and fringing woods. Taken near the middle of Sutton Park, looking towards the tv transmitters.

Probably from a damson/plum.

Growing at the edge of the Staffs and Worcs canal.

The Bratch is a set of three locks on the Staffs and Worcs canal on the edge of Wombourne. There is only a tiny gap between each lock, unlike a staircase where each lock opens directly into the next. Because the gap between the locks is less than the length of a boat, the lock flight is more complicated to navigate.

The narrow building between the lower and middle locks is an octagonal toll house. The other building behind it is the lock keeper’s cottage.
