WME Flickr Focus - March 2018

Would you believe it, we're at that time of the month again where I subject you to the usual diet of photostream progress. Several of my West Midlands Exploration collections have been limbering up and getting fit ready for their next intake of pictorial nutrition...

First with a finger in the salad bowl this month is WME Worcestershire which has admittedly suffered from a severe lack of appetite thus far in 2018 - a solitary portion of the Gate Hangs Well at Headless Cross in Redditch is probably not much by way of nourishment but it is a start. Exploration Extra meanwhile has itself been on rations of late but avoids going hungry by taking a bite out of the beer festival shuttle bus at Derby.

WME Wolverhampton has certainly been piling on the pictures, although where the photostream is concerned any extra weight is always a good thing. A hearty meal has been devoured comprising Dudding Road bus stop, Fallings Park's Co-op store, some George Street signage and Dunstall Park Bridge on the Birmingham Main Line Canal. Dessert comes in the form of some bus garage demolition with two shots of the former Cleveland Road depot meeting its fate.

Approaching the scales somewhat nervously are WME Birmingham and WME Sandwell with their respective weigh-in reports now imminent. Birmingham succumbs to the temptation of Cotteridge (the Grant Arms), Falcon Lodge (the Anvil) and a dragon bench outside Hall Green Library, whereas Sandwell secretively tucks away the Greets Green Sports Bar and Cradley Heath's Mary McArthur Gardens. 

Finally we have a handful of collections reaching for the juice smoothies and the vitamin pills. WME Dudley seeks out supplements such as the Little Chop House at Colley Gate or some shops at Cotwall End, Sedgley; WME Walsall puts Darlaston through the blender, resulting in sign snaps for Middleton's chip shop, the Vine and the Horse & Jockey; WME Coventry is on the cod liver oil care of Fords Hospital almshouses, and last but not least is WME Staffordshire taking a recreational stroll around Chasewater Reservoir. That concludes a healthy month on the photostream, more of the same in April will do very nicely indeed...
