There has been photostream progress during November - honest! - even if my monthly summary shows that I am still marooned amongst the Bs. Bradmore and Bewdley still hadn't finished after October's offerings and they've latterly been joined by Bilston, Bloxwich and Bridgnorth...
In an echo of last month's report, I'll open with WME Worcestershire just to tidy up those Bewdley loose ends. The numbers weren't as dramatic this time around with a mere trio of new arrivals but I'm hardly going to complain, not with the Talbot pub, Rag Lane and a Ribbesford pointer joining the mix. Bewdley is now second only to Worcester itself in terms of having the most pictures from my Worcestershire local albums (15 images and counting)...
Far and away my biggest contributor during November was WME Wolverhampton which as we know is never shy of doing some heavy lifting. Bilston Bus Station's stand lettering came in for a lot of attention although I did manage to eke out representation from Woody's Bar and the Trumpet to offset the B, D and E stop roundels. Blakenall recalled the British Queen as a Dudley Road drinking den whereas Bradmore smuggled out Star Street and the local post office/newsagents shop. Beyond that, Bramstead Avenue daffodils and Bhylls Lane blossoms placed the emphasis on the natural world with pretty shades of yellow and pink.
Where else shall we go? WME Shropshire cashed in on some Bridgnorth business courtesy of the historic Cliff Railway, Castle Walk and the Bandon Arms whilst a beer garden scene behind the Old Castle has all the hallmarks of a summer idyll. WME Telford was rather shy by comparison, only squeaking in a Brindleyford mural moment on the Brookside estate although every extra addition is an achievement in itself.
Back within the West Midlands county curtilage, WME Walsall and WME Birmingham both pocketed themselves new finds in triplicate. Walsall's gains were from Bloxwich (a Station Hotel lamp plus the Turf Tavern's weathered signage) and Blakenall (the former Royal Oak pub again) but Brum preferred to concentrate on Old Oscott (Brooklyn Garage) and Booth Street Metro stop in Handsworth. That then leaves us with WME Sandwell - a nod to Blakey Hall Bridge beneath the M5 - and WME Staffordshire's carved Brewood bench by way of acknowledging everything. Until next time, enjoy the pictures!
