In between all my Rail Rover activities and other assorted April adventures I have found time to rustle up some more tasty dishes for the West Midlands Exploration photostream. Let's see what's been on the menu over the last few weeks...
WME Shropshire has taken the role of head chef on this occasion, cooking up some treats from Shrewsbury (Millingtons Hospital) and Ellesmere (another taste of Bridge 58 on the Llangollen Canal). Oswestry makes its photostream debut thanks to a diet of pub signs care of the Oak Inn and the Boars Head, bringing back memories of a Hub Marketing visit last year.
Donning their aprons and wielding their rolling pins to notable effect are WME Wolverhampton and WME Warwickshire. Wolverhampton offers a liberal sprinkling of Merridale morsels (Oak Street tiled signage, Pelham Street emptiness where the Fort Works once stood) and Bilston bites (Hickman Park trees plus a reminder of the Royal Exchange, a lost Loxdale pub) whereas Warwickshire has ladled on some Leamington loveliness (the Oak Inn and the Talbot are also sadly bygone boozers).
Fresh out of the oven are delicacies from WME Walsall (vintage Sankey Working Mens Club signage augmented with the Old House at Home in Pelsall), WME Birmingham (a class 172 train shot at Moor Street) and WME Staffordshire (a Penkridge pair showcasing the White Hart and the local market). Nor should we overlook WME Solihull's culinary efforts, especially now the Blue Bell Cider House near Earlswood has made a photostream appearance.
This just leaves a final few collections fighting over the leftovers. Among the potato peelings and fish heads, WME Dudley unearths a picture of Lye's glorious shed of a railway station whereas WME Sandwell whips up the sign for St Paul's Church in Golds Hill. Not to be outdone, WME Telford scrapes up a bus shelter shot from Newport Interchange for its first meal of the year. With that the stove falls silent for a while but no doubt there will be more to pluck from the pot come May...
