Unlike my usual scattergun approach where updates can be sprinkled far and wide, April very much tailored its additions on three specific galleries - Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Staffordshire. This wasn't necessarily planned as such, more a random quirk of how the photos slotted themselves into position, but at least it should make this summary more digestable than usual...
Which of the 'big three' shall we focus on first then? Eeeny, meeny, miny, moe, let's give WME Staffordshire a go. Alphabetically speaking we've definitely hit a tranche of C pictures recently with Cannock, Codsall and Calf Heath all jostling for coverage. Cannock's contribution involves the Boot & Sons chartered surveyors offices and an Asda supermarket, Calf Heath concentrates on Straight Mile with Oak Lane (yet more pesky street signs) while Codsall captures St Nicholas Church looking rather fine in a springtime setting. The Bs haven't been completely overlooked though, not with Burton bringing forth pub pickings from the Weighbridge or the Crossing.
Talking of things beginning with B, WME Birmingham hasn't been shy in April. City centre items have led the way here, including Colonel Burnaby's Memorial, Bath Passage signage and two street art examples (an oriental dragon and a cheeky Christmas elf). Deep Cutting Junction's bridge nameplate counts as a piece of canal content whereas the Malt House nearby adds nicely to the pub-related quota, leaving Edgbaston's Calthorpe Park to claim the final Brum word with yet more of its pretty cherry blossoms.
Spring has similarly sprung over on WME Wolverhampton thanks to Castlecroft daffodils, albeit wider seasonal representation is provided by autumnal golden canopies (Windmill Crescent) and wintry street scenes (Castlecroft Gardens) by way of balance. The local medical practice and the Firs pub keep the Castlecroft flag while Compton tries to piggyback with glimpses of Boots Land Allotments and Pickwick Gardens. Bringing up the rear is the former Cleveland Road bus depot during its demolition phase, and that's your lot. Will May be as intent on stocking up only select galleries or will we return to a more expansive harvest - time will tell...
