WME Update Digest: July 2009

Even by my sluggish standards July has been a particularly slow month for updates. Technical issues meant that for much of the time it looked unlikely that I would have any new additions to report at all - thankfully, the situation has improved and a handful of brave photographs have started the ball rolling again...

Much of the action has taken place on WME Birmingham and WME Staffordshire. The Brum stuff includes shots of Baldwins Lane Garage (Exploring Hall Green), the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at University Avenue, and a look at Harborne Lane Bridge (Dudley No. 2 Canal) during the building of the Selly Oak New Road. There's also been a long awaited addition to Birmingham by Bus, with the 904 making an appearance at Bull Street terminus.

The new Staffordshire selections meanwhile concentrate on revisiting old friends. Exploring Cheslyn Hay now boasts extra views of the war memorial and the Talbot pub, whilst Bakers Bridge confirms its stranglehold on the Wyrley Branch collection now that the fourth and fifth parts of that series are in situ.

Besides those two galleries, there isn't much else to report. Yet another 34 at Tile Hill shot has crept into Coventry by Bus as WME Coventry just about ticks over, whilst WME Walsall keeps its head above water thanks to a Walsall Canal view taken from Midland Road Bridge. And that, my friends, is that - I just hope August proves a little more productive...
