Description:The Roebuck Inn is on the right of this view at the junction of the A51 and A513. Over the years this quiet road scene has changed and (in April 2018) there is a busy junction with road traffic islands.

The Roebuck Inn became known as The Wolseley Arms; however, the outward appearance of the building has not changed very much (except for the removal of the ivy). The main entrance was moved and accessed via a car park at the rear of the building.

In later years the cottages on the left were demolished, the RAC telephone box was removed and several agricultural buildings were relocated and re-erected on the site. The site became known as the Wolseley Bridge Craft Complex and the various buildings now house retail units selling art, crafts, gifts and antiques.
