Description:The Grand Junction stood right at the corner with Bell Barn Road. Looking across here into the distance is Elvetham Road with a newsagents just visible. A "Park Drive" cigarette advert can be seen on the wall if you use the "zoomify" button. The Grand Junction has long since gone and the now also demolished Chatsworth Tower would have been around the same location.

Outside the pub can be seen a street urinal of the kind which were familiar around many Birmingham streets. Today there are very few left to be seen.
