WME Flickr Focus - December 2019

Seasons greetings to you all and it's been a peaceful festive period thus far at West Midlands Exploration HQ. I'm pleased to report that Santa has visited (I must have been good!) and he's gifted some new pictures to the WME photostream, so let's take a look at what made our 2019 Christmas list...

  • Possibly powered by reindeer, WME Coventry retains its recent momentum thanks to some Canley correspondence from Elmer the elephant and a Sovereign dartboard. Not to be outdone, the city centre chimes in with a historical plaque remembering the former County Hall courthouse. 
  • WME Telford concentrates on Coalport this month by collecting tar tunnels and vintage petrol pumps before taking a peek inside a preserved bottle kiln. Nearby Coalbrookdale gets in on the act with a moment of quiet contemplation at Holy Trinity churchyard.
  • Deliveries for WME Dudley include several Coseley crackers, most notably the Apple Tree pub and the Providence Chapel. Santa also rummaged in his sack for some Coseley station snapshots, plucking out entrance hoops and waiting room remnants.
  • To WME Shropshire now where Bridgnorth is the delighted recipient of a train set. Several steam locomotive sculptures appeared across the town in 2018 of which 'Just the Ticket' and 'Choo Choo Choose' have chugged into contention here.
  • Elsewhere in the selection box, WME Walsall eyes up the White Lion at Caldmore whereas WME Birmingham nibbles on the Court Oak near Harborne. Last but not least, WME Staffordshire uncovers an Uxbridge Arms archive item dating from June 2008, and that's our stocking full to the brim!
Mathematically that means the WME photostream comprises 4,230 published pictures and I'll be looking to boost that total still further during the early months of 2020. Until then, enjoy the remainder of the Christmas holidays and see you next year!
