WME Flickr Focus: October 2012

Trick or treat? The wizard of WME has been slaving over his cauldron during October, conjuring up more magical morsels that have taken their place on the West Midlands Exploration photostream. Let's see what joys and horrors have been making their presences felt...

Well for starters, the sorcerer opened his book of spells to find a potent potion for bringing photographs back from the abyss. A drop or two was cast Shropshire way with the result that the WME Telford & Wrekin archive has begun to reappear. Amongst the back from the dead offerings are some Arriva buses at Telford, Dawley and Wellington, plus local photos representing Hinkshay (the former White Hart), Dawley (the Lord Hill), Hadley (shops and the old library) and Leegomery (the community centre). Newport gets some attention with a look at canal remains plus a few pub shots, whilst the railway reckoning features the odd image from Oakengates, Telford Central and Wellington stations. Spooky!

There has also been plenty of WME Worcestershire wizardry as the cauldron bubbled forth with further reinstated creations. Spilling over the sides were Clent, Cofton Hackett, Hagley and Wolverley with various pub and library pictures for your delectation. A recipe for railways was also brought to the boil, and the stations that appeared from the pot included Evesham, Worcester Shrub Hill and Great Malvern along with the Severn Valley contingent from Bewdley and Kidderminster Town. Terrifying!

Amongst all the hocus pocus there were a few random spells that managed to throw themselves into the mix. From WME Wolverhampton there was a solitary trick from Castle Bridge on the Wyrley & Essington Canal, whilst Marston Green Post Office miraculously appeared on WME Solihull. Finally there was a sign of further restorative magic to come, with WME Warwickshire taking a first swig of elixir to generate up bus photos from Stratford-upon-Avon and Rugby. The WME wizard is thus hoping that there might be a few fireworks in November...
