November Updates

After another couple of raids on the WME archive, I've found a few more photos to experiment with and some of these have now taken pride of place on the WME Wolverhampton and WME Dudley galleries.

Now showing on WME Wolverhampton, we have:
  • a couple more train photos on Wolverhampton Station showing the much maligned Wellington - Walsall service back in August 2003
  • a new collection, Exploring Oxley, currently featuring two photos of Oxley Library. Me and Oxley go back a long way so I'm glad the area finally has a WME presence
  • two new canal photos: Moathouse Bridge, scene of several lunchtime walks, arrives on the Wyrley & Essington collection, whilst on Birmingham Main Line I've added a bonus shot of a BCN sign near Horseley Fields Bridge - quite how I hadn't included this photo before now is a bit of a mystery but there you go

Turning WME Dudley where its bus related updates all the way...

  • A useful view of Halesowen Bus Station joins the Stops & Stations collection, adding another location into the mix
  • And on Dudley by Bus there are 5 new bus photos - the 002 at Merry Hill, the 236 and 257 at Gornal Wood, the 240 at Stourbridge and the 544 at Coseley. The collection now contains 46 photos, so it is well established, but I'm especially pleased with this latest batch of inclusions because they even up the location balance a little bit. The collection is still dominated by Stourbridge and Halesowen photos but at least there's a bit more Gornal and Merry Hill now, and a completely new location in the form of Coseley

Another solid update then, making further use of my older photos. The updates also mean that both WME Wolverhampton and WME Dudley are approaching little landmarks: WME Wolverhampton has 149 photos, one away from the big 150 (and catching WME Birmingham too) whilst WME Dudley is on 97, three photos away from becoming the third WME to break through the century barrier. The number crunching shows that the galleries are growing and becoming more substantial, so I am heading in the right direction.
