I try not to overload you with statistical stuff during these monthly photostream summaries but I do note that there is one big number drawing ever closer on the WME horizon. My overall published photo tally currently stands at 5,952 so it should only be a matter of time before I reach the 6,000 picture milestone. Let's see which September arrivals inched me that little bit nearer...
There have been two clear front-runners in terms of recent additions, one perhaps surprising while the other simply maintains its usual rate of output. The less-expected contributor is WME Sandwell which racks up a healthy dozen fresh items focused around West Bromwich and Wednesbury. Going against the grain of my sporting allegiances, I've included a snapshot or two of railings and turnstiles from The Hawthorns, a stadium that always induces something of a shudder! The Hargate Arms and the Lewisham Hotel (a.k.a. Desi Junction or whatever it now calls itself) provide some pub content, matched in the Wednesbury contingent by references to the Old Blue Ball and the Rosehill Tavern.
No prizes for guessing that our other September heavyweight is WME Wolverhampton where again there is something of a 'W' theme at work, what with Warstones, Wightwick and Wergs all vying for attention. Warstones supplies East Green and yet another look at the local branch library; Wergs busies itself with Keepers Lane and the Crown pub; and Wightwick lands more lock pictures from the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal. Nor must I forget further Ws in the form of Wednesfield (the Vine's car park sign) and West Park (the Rhema Church and an extra glimpse of the glasshouse).
Apart from that I haven't actually got much else to tell you. WME Warwickshire collected more Warwick Castle artefacts, most notably piano poses and a pair of impressive towers, before WME Birmingham lamented the loss of Weoley Castle's former Raven public house. Wheaton Aston's Hartley Arms makes a second showing on WME Staffordshire, leaving Much Wenlock to bring up the WME Shropshire rear with some abbey arrows - and that's your lot! There's a decent chance that October will get me to my magical 6,000 milestone so fingers crossed for plentiful updates...
