If August's activities on the West Midlands Exploration photostream were equated to an episode of Sesame Street then the last few weeks have been brought to you by the letters D, E and F. Alas I haven't got Big Bird, Elmo or Bert and Ernie on standby to bring you the rundown, but let's Count von Count up the recent additions anyway...
Our favourite playmate of late has been WME Staffordshire which has had something to say for each of the letters in focus. This means D has daintily deposited more droppings from Doxey, notably Greensome Crescent and the village's welcome sign, whereas E expertly rustled up a commemorative wreath over at Enville War Memorial. Most of the thrust was however reserved for F, specifically the Potteries town of Fenton. A J Philpott & Sons timber merchants, the Bonaparte Restaurant, the Angel pub and Lordship Lane have all featured amongst the ensuring flurry of Fenton-ness!
If Staffordshire did a fair amount of F legwork, WME Wolverhampton has displayed a total F fixation. This is solely on account of Finchfield contributing its customary swathe of blossom captures, furnishing us with petal pictures from Cranford Road, Wootton Road, Woodland Crescent et al., all accompanied by side dishes of coppice daffodils and bluebells. A snowy supermarket scene showing the Lidl store on Oak Hill rounds off the set for the time being.
Elsewhere, WME Dudley dabbles with its own delivery of several D items, comprising Dudley College's Evolve branding, a truncheon-wielding police station carving and a Trinity Road street sign. The Dudley Fs are fashioned from Hurst Green correspondence with the Fairfield pub, hence a Marstons badge and a 1930s upstairs window. WME Birmingham by contrast gave the Es some emphasis courtesy of Edgbaston cricket happenings although I must pay due reference to a Digbeth street art tiger cub as one of the cuter examples of graffiti.
The remaining scraps were hoovered up between them by WME Sandwell (Dudley Port station orientation snippets), WME Coventry (building on July's resurgence with some Fargo Village scooter action), and finally WME Shropshire (where its hello to Evelith and its liking for painted pooch pebbles). All being well, our journey through the alphabet should continue into September so until then enjoy the photos. Won't you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street...
