I'm currently in the process of a major house move so naturally thoughts about the WME Flickr photostream have been placed on the back burner. October was rationed to fewer updates than usual although I did squeak through some noteworthy additions in between boxing up my possessions...
Doing the heavy lifting this month has been WME Sandwell which has muscled its way along the Smethwick Locks flight. A sequence of pictures here show the little toll hut (sadly fire-damaged), lock beams and the Canal & River Trust location sign. While in the Smethwick area, our metaphorical removal van stops briefly at the Old Chapel for a glimpse of the pub interior.
Manhandling a few bulky boxes of its own is WME Wolverhampton which applies ribbons of parcel tape around the Spring Hill area of Penn. The local Co-op supermarket and the Spring Hill pub both feature, whereas a Stowheath Lane street sign narrowly avoids being labelled as fragile. WME Staffordshire meanwhile takes the utmost care with Stapenhill (Burton upon Trent), delicately fixing a couple of New Inn pub signs into their new adopted position.
Elsewhere, WME Birmingham has been rummaging in the loft to find a Selly Park Tavern sign and a Sherlock Street bus stop - I note too the dusting off of Pebble Mill Road, reminding me of when BBC Birmingham made the significant switch from Pebble Mill Studios to the Mailbox (the WME family relocation is nothing in comparison). WME Coventry's contribution is clearing out the cupboard under the stairs, blowing the cobwebs off the Humber Hotel in the process.
This just leaves WME Telford and WME Shropshire emptying the shed, Telford by grappling with the Randlay Farmhouse pub sign and Shropshire by sweeping up the Sutton Farm shopping centre. That completes October's offerings but if I may be serious just for a moment, November and December will be a busy time as I uproot myself across Wolverhampton and settle into my new home, so please bear with me if the blog and the photostream are quieter over the next few weeks...
