WME Flickr Focus - October 2021

Alphabetically speaking it's been all about the 'B's as regards WME photostream progress in October, with Bradmore, Bewdley and the Black Country Living Museum all registering considerable contributions...

We'll kickstart this month's summary with good news from WME Worcestershire. Bewdley has been very busy of late, not least thanks to the community orchard in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Gardens - I rather like the apple core sculpture I discovered there last year. Dog Lane and Bark Hill provide assorted signage while a police lamp is an interesting relic I found in the town's museum. Anybody intending on sticking up bill posters needs to be wary though as they don't take kindly to such practices in the Wyre Forest!

To WME Dudley and the aforementioned Black Country Living Museum where my vegetable fixation continues unchecked thanks to a basketful of cabbages and onions. Racecourse Colliery grabs itself some coal while the old-fashioned fairground shows off its coconut shy. Birdcages and scrubbing brushes adorn the ceiling of the hardware shop and there's a peek at a Penn Fields-bound vintage tram lurking in its depot hideaway.

Third up is WME Wolverhampton which brandishes several items from Bradmore and Bantock Park. Summer scenes through the trees seem to be a recent specialty alongside references to Bantock House's lovely Drawing Room plus a random fabric collection. Bantock Avenue registers a road sign, and a certain stern servant mannequin makes his second scowling appearance.

There isn't too much to tell you about elsewhere on the galleries. WME Warwickshire bothers Bedworth and Bermuda Park railway stations for platform numbers (and possibly a little hint of the Bedworth Liberal Club); WME Walsall snares a solitary snippet from Barr Beacon Nature Reserve; and finally WME Birmingham bags a Woodcock pub picture from the vicinity of  Bangham Pit near Bartley Green. Until next month, enjoy the photos!
