EPW057589 ENGLAND (1938). Cheswick Green and Solihull Race Course, Cheswick Green, 1938

This site is currently where The Harvest pub is, previously Jeffersons. The Crown pub originally stood here which was demolished in the 1980's not sure if this is what it was in this picture?

Houses along Hay Lane , these still exist sitting amonst the newer Monkspath 1980's estate

I think this was the entrance to Solihull Racecourse, and is now the entrance to Shirley Golf Course (founded in 1955). On their website they have a history page and the old racecourse stands can be seen in the background.

Pylon (as in corner of epw057585).

Its not a canal unless its frozen solid - there is a car driving on it here

Is this a fairly substatial windpump?

This seems a fairly major road. Does it really go round three sides of the field, near the farm after the row of cottages?

Is is a Tower Cafe? They used to have a tower on them and were usually on a main road as they were transport cafe,s

I'm not sure this is a canal. It doesn't appear to continue on the other side of the road and there is a gap in the fence leading on to it

Also visible in EPW057585 and EPW057588.

Is this some sort of a race course? I can see only one plausible jump.

This looks like some sort of gatehouse. What else would appear to block a new looking road coming in from the right of the picture where it joins the road running across the picture. That it is a road is confirmed by the car to the right of this building. If only we could see what is at the end of the white road that turns at a right angle. Is it the drive to a large house or perhaps the entrance to a military establishment? It seems to expect a lot of traffic if the width of the surface is anything to go by.

What's this? It doesn't seem to have church features.

I think this is a canal. I was worried that it seemed to have a slope, but it is vertually parallel to the roof line on the building to the right.

Main road with footpath or cycle track.

This looks like a straight road running across the picture from left to right. Wondered if it was a railway but cannot find any of the normal features associated with such.

Vehicles lined up in a row?

Church with tower.
