Afternoon all! January's dying embers mean it's time for the first Flickr update of 2016, and I'm pleased to report that the New Year has brought with it a flurry of new content on the WME photostream...
Exploration Extra has received a veritable avalanche of activity with arrivals from right across the country; much of the new stuff actually dates from 2011, a year hitherto under-represented on my Flickr archives. These include a Rail Rover 2011 album containing specimens from Alsager (the Mere Inn), Beeston (the canal lock cottage) and Ledbury (the Prince of Wales) as Cheshire, Nottinghamshire and Herefordshire all enter the mix.
Merseyside muscles into the action with a July 2011 shot of the famed soap opera setting Brookside Close plus some Aigburth cricketing scenes from August that same year. Vintage bus rallies at both Weymouth and Torbay also merit a mention (I hope to add further images to these fledgling sets in due course), while Yorkshire demands attention in the form of Ilkley railway station and Grassington post office.
2011 hasn't completely dominated proceedings though, as some relatively recent extractions from 2015 have also made the cut. Chief among these are items from last Easter's Cornwall holiday (featuring a view from Falmouth's Prince of Wales pier) and some December diamonds courtesy of Weston-super-Mare and Bath, where the Kennet and Avon Lock flight bring things almost bang up to date.
Admittedly, offerings from within the West Midlands have been somewhat scarcer thus far. The 27 route at Pool Meadow Bus station has joined WME Coventry, the landmark Swan pub at Burntwood has surfaced on WME Staffordshire and a springtime shot of Dawley Park deposited itself into WME Telford. Add in a Bridgnorth-bound 890 at Wolverhampton Bus Station along with an overview of Droitwich railway station and you pretty much have the measure of everything for now. February is poised to build further on these whenever the opportunity arises, so until then please enjoy the pictures!
