YARWELL CLOSE LEADING TO TREMAINE GARDENS - other localities and names transplanted to the old county of Staffs. There are more too...Grimstone and Cambridge. Fresh paint.

Pigeons, rats, buddleia and sparrows the usual suspects of urban dereliction. Echoing calls from hollow walls, the rot dropped into skips below. A clock-faced pigeon loft rules this end of the site. More catalogue ornamentation marks the public face of Butlers Ales, faces the new world order of MARSTONS Wolverhampton Depot Group Logistics - Delivering Excellence. The present giving two-fingers to William Butler's lot.

Almost there now. Site entrance and a B&Q shedded security guard - what's he doing taking photos? Round the bend to Grimstone Street pavement car park, oh and a last opportunity to look back over the site - a neglected footbridge over a long gone railway (GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY - OS 1889) and along Lock Street back to my Birmingham train.
