In an unexpected turn of events, WME Shropshire emerged from the pack to become our undisputed chief accumulator of new photo content. The little hamlet of Badger was instrumental in this feat, supplying stocks of lily pads, vintage road signs and Badger Dingle streamside scenes as I plundered my July 2020 archives to good effect. Two Ludlow local bus services also made the cut so a shout out to the 701 and 702 routes outside the town's Assembly Rooms.
The runners up spot was claimed by WME Birmingham which itself can be satisfied with a steady few weeks. Aston made itself heard thanks to lock-based street art and a Swan & Mitre pub sign, likewise Balsall Heath Library undergoing May 2010 repair works. Baltimore Road near Hamstead is one for the street sign purists while the Alcoa Sports Ground is a location I'd forgotten about, hidden down the back of a cul-de-sac between Wylde Green and Walmley.
Bronze medal position went to WME Wolverhampton largely on account of some Aldersley additions. Cycle route pointers, a Green Lane bus stop and Aldersley Avenue made their respective debuts alongside an appearance for the 514 bus setting down passengers in November 2009. Avondale Road muscled its way into my Whitmore Reans album too in maintaining my fixation on all things tiled and ceramic.
The usual squabble over the minor placings turned out thus - WME Warwickshire called in on Atherstone to attend to the Maid of the Mill pub and the Coventry Canal locks; WME Dudley dolloped in a Swan free house lamp from Amblecote; WME Sandwell spotted the 438 bus calling at Cape Hill; WME Staffordshire snapped up a Bednall marker in Acton Trussell; and finally WME Telford took a peek inside the wonderful All Nations at Madeley - cheers!
