It's all aboard the good ship West Midlands Exploration as we once more set sail through the open waters of the WME Flickr photostream. Let's take a nautical name-check of the pictures that were press-ganged into service during September...
Taking the helm for this particular voyage is WME Worcestershire, usually something of a reluctant captain but happy to assert some authority with a variety of Worcester photos. The city's racecourse makes its presence felt while Britannia Square and the Garibaldi pub are also willing to bark a few orders and St John's district war memorial keeps a steady eye on the wheel.
Promoted to first mate is WME Staffordshire which takes its second-in-command duties most seriously. Whiston and Wheaton Aston have been summoned into shape, contributing the Swan pub, a Golden Glow sign and a Turner's Garage update between them. There have also been reports of shipshape stuff from Stafford where the Victoria Park glasshouse offers a brace of botanical bonuses.
Down on deck, the busy boatswains include WME Sandwell (the Tilted Barrel at Tipton, a Cottage pub sign from Wednesbury and a reminder of St James's parish church, again from Wednesbury) and WME Dudley (a curious carving from Stevens Park in Wollescote paired with a peek inside the Bird in Hand at Wordsley). WME Wolverhampton meanwhile hauls in Tettenhall Pool and Wednesfield's sadly-closed Pyle Cock to supplement our ship's company.
Finally, a few scraps of sustenance from our galley chefs. WME Coventry serves up a Stoke Aldermoor street scene (The Moorfield), WME Telford rustles up a Cock Hotel circular wall plaque from Wellington, and WME Warwickshire avoids the dreaded weevilled biscuits with a Stag's Head sign from Wellesbourne. That now closes our captain's log for September, but who knows where October's ocean-faring may yet lead...
