From here crossing Upper Rushall Street and climbing to the top of the steep but short cobbled street alongside the church gains access to St Matthews Close. Turning right alongside the Memorial Gardens takes us to this view looking east up the street with the Duke of Wellington in the background. The approximate position of a major faultline is shown by the black line. It passes through a repair to the road which periodically experiences minor collapses. The faultline shown in black has Barleyfields Row at its top left and Dandy's Walk to its right.
Top right is back towards the church along New Street.
The unrepaired vandalism marks the eastmost extent of Bath Street Gardens. The Bath Street Gardens were previously an extension of St Mathews's graveyard. Access the gardens by proceeding alongside the white building or walk alongside them by going down Barleyfield Row and at the bottom turn right into Bath Street. See a view on the Ugly Walsall website looking out of the Bath Street Gardens across Bath Street itself and showing a rubbish-strewn park. On the plus side we do have TWO art galleries, one of which is 'uncompromising'.
