#365daysofbiking Surprises along the way:

Tuesday March 30th 2021 – I’m enjoying riding back from Telford so much I’m doing something I’ve not done in years, really - blindly exploring. I’m varying my route to find the best one, and today, I had an extra hour to play with as I left early. So at Stanton Hill, near RAF Cosford, I took a dive down Neachley Lane. My word, it’s gorgeous. A lovely, quiet, long downhill run through woodlands. I loved ever turn of the pedals.

Then, as I left Bilbrook heading Coven, Brinsford ways on, I was looking for a decent backway - they’re thin on the ground in this motorway and trunk road bisected area. I found one on the map - part of the Monarch’s Way from just north of Pendeford to Coven Heath. It crossed the motorway via a pedestrian bridge, and wound around the side of the Landrover Engine Plant, horridly called ‘I54′.

Skirting a building site, it was an interesting and worthwhile route - but the best thing was the surprise I found on the far side of the motorway: A huge solar farm. 

It’s so good to see this sort of thing and I just love the technology of it. I stood and admired it for some time.

I’ve passed this spot many times on the motorway to Telford, without ever realising the solar farm was there.

This my friends, is what’s great about riding a bike.

During this pandemic it has become increasingly clear that Morrisons, Pendeford is woefully undersized for its catchment area. Even outside of Covid, the store is oversubscribed.

Next door is the Pendulum Inn, which while popular is rife with issues, the latest seeing it shut down due to breaking Coronavirus regulations. While I'd love to see it become a thriving pub, there's no need for it to have such a huge car park which is very rarely used.

As shown above, we can split the retail aspect into three parts - Morrisons, Martin's, and then the small shops between.

The Pendulum car park is so large that the smaller shops and Martin's could be rebuilt like-for-like (but in reality could be built however desired) while only losing spaces that aren't even valued. Morrisons could then be extended across the site with no loss of parking from the Morrisons car park itself.

Ideally however the whole lot could be rebuilt on stilts, like other supermarkets in the area, to provide further parking.

The shops above have just been moved and rotated into place; the site is almost perfect for them.

In an absolute ideal world scenario I would like to add some character and charm to the area however - I would demolish the Pendulum entirely and build a new pub based on the flight centre of the old Pendeford Airport, Wolverhampton's first and largest airport.
