Guess what, the main thrust of activity was once again provided by WME Wolverhampton which seized back its mantle of chief contributor after a relatively lean spell in May and June - perhaps the ignominy of being outscored by Coventry last month has spurred it into greater deeds? Finchfield was very much the focus here courtesy of coppice vegetation, windfall apples, selected street signs and even a rather dapper snowman! Fordhouses also got stuck right in, showcasing The Oval housing estate and a sequence of carved wolves that brighten up the A449 Stafford Road near the Moreton Arms pub.
Second in line was WME Dudley which continues to build up its own handy portfolio of 2023 arrivals. The three Gornals have dominated matters, with Upper Gornal gaining Vale Row and a Fownes Brewery sign while Lower Gornal amassed a Black Country Wenches WI-crafted poppy wreath plus a dusky Banks's sign at the Red Cow on Grosvenor Road. The trilogy is completed by Gornal Wood with its erstwhile endeavours to record Redhall Road, Brick Kiln Lane and the Bush Inn.
Aside from those two galleries I have a scattering of other odds and ends, starting with WME Warwickshire which remarkably received its very first pictures of the whole year. Three Grand Union bridge numberplates from in and around Hatton Locks might not make for the most riveting content I've ever published but at least Warks is on the board now. WME Walsall also grabbed a couple of canal contenders with emphasis on the Forest Footbridge near Harden; WME Sandwell braved the River Tame in the wastelands of Golds Hill and Wednesbury; WME Staffordshire dropped in on Gailey Top Lock (Staffs & Worcs Canal); and last but not least, the lesser spotted WME Solihull picked up two Grand Union bonuses itself thanks to Bridge 74 in Knowle and Bridge 83 in Olton. Enjoy the pictures!
