WME Flickr Focus: February 2016

Another day, another dollar: another month, another digest. February's contributions to the front face of West Midlands Exploration contained no actual West Midlands items whatsoever, although the rest of England has been on hand to ensure everything stayed ship-shape...

So where shall we start? How about down in Cornwall, where January's arrivals from Falmouth have been latterly boosted by the likes of Looe (the Banjo Pier) and Liskeard (the Caradoc mural). Mevagissey and Polperro have also weighed anchor here courtesy of some beady-eyed seagulls, the Crumplehorn pub and a general seaside shot of Mevagissey's picturesque harbour.

Moving across the south coast we land in Torbay where some station signs from both Torquay and Torre are now on photostream display. A Devon General open-topped bus also joins the action here, while a shimmy over into Dorset brings us Weymouth with quayside fishing equipment and a view of First Group's bus depot. The Sandbanks ferry gets a second airing too, loading up cars on a sunny afternoon.

A brief pit stop in our fair capital city next and a single shot of the Regents Canal at Lisson Grove. This will eventually form part of a wider album documenting last year's visit to Lords, the home of cricket albeit I haven't managed to release any shots of the ground as yet. Another great city is Bath, which made an initial impression with canal images in January and has now supplemented these with a Widcombe Locks sign and a peek at Pulteney Bridge.

Heading north, Yorkshire has made its mighty presence felt with some Grassington dry stone walls, a Pateley Bridge chip shop and a wistful West Burton scene that seems to encapsulate a bygone age. Theakston's beer casks in Masham and a Knottingley-bound train at Wakefield Kirkgate also creep into contention. That once again brings you pretty much up to date, and I hope to be back on the West Midlands pictorial beat come March...
