Passed by this small engineering works near Cradley Heath station and couldn’t resist taking a snap of a stock of bus shelters (didn’t tag them all though!) A pint of beer to anyone who discovers where the bus stops are made! However the picture shows the older style of bus stops so this might just be a recycling centre so I’d better do a more thorough survey next time I’m out there.

After months of mapping in the Black Country and avoiding this hill I finally managed to map this (location).

It is the highest point in the West Midlands at 265m and the views from there are very extensive. It is marred by a growth of communications towers of some complicated design. Somehow, whilst taking a photo of the man-made environment I forgot to get some snaps of the views (mapping’s getting to my brain!)

I just wonder if anyone bothers to go and check the work before they pay the invoices? And if anyone bothers to read the signs before they send them out and before they erect them? Not only is the sign nonsensical, one of the road names is misspelled too!

Or more accurately why can’t the contractors be bothered to check before they erect them? I wonder how long it will be before anyone bothers to correct this?
