WME Flickr Focus - February 2022

After a fairly fruitful February, the West Midlands Exploration grand photostream total now stands at a rather healthy 5,600 pictures - let's do a roll call of the latest images off the production line...

No gallery of mine has a more consistent conveyor belt than WME Wolverhampton but even this has managed to surpass itself in recent weeks when churning out Finchfield items by the dozen. I'll gloss over the usual raft of street signs (Limehurst Avenue, Meadow Road) to focus instead on the slightly more interesting new components - these include a Lidl supermarket, an 1875 chapel date inscription, some Coppice logs and several examples of springtime blossoms taken right across the locality. Cranford Road is the fulcrum of the pink-petalled parade there.

Finchfield has hogged proceedings to such an extent that not much else got anywhere near the controls, although Fordhouses did boost the WME Wolverhampton output further care of Oval Drive's neighbourhood park and Poets Corner lettering. Chapel Ash cranked in a couple more examples of avian art - the Frost Report sketch again - while Fareham Crescent manufactured its way onto the Merry Hill album as a general streetscape shot.

Productivity was notably down across all of my other galleries so you have to look very closely for any evidence of non-Wolverhampton stock. WME Birmingham slotted in an Erdington entry (the Swan pub) and a Fox Hollies Park fragment near Acocks Green whereas WME Dudley fastened onto the Foxyards Estate for a trio of DY4 street signs. WME Sandwell preferred to take a natural approach, escaping from the factory floor to see some of the animals at Forge Mill Farm (Sandwell Valley), leaving WME Telford to collect some canal content courtesy of Fishers Lock on the Newport Branch. With that it's time for me to clock off for the month but I'll be back hard at work in March I'm sure - cheers!
