#Blackcountry
Weirdly my now mainly lost Blackcountry accent comes back when I’m trying to pronounce something I don’t know. I guess it’s something about going back to your original sounding out?

“Wum med, Wum growed”, at Tipton Library this morning:

‘Thank you so much for a great morning. I wanted to be part of your audience but the room was just too crowded which is, of course, brilliant for you and the library’ (Treasurer, Friends of Tipton Library)

Birmingham; the Black Country; Brum gets a pretty bad rap here in ol’ Middle England.

“Yam alright, Bab?”

I am when I get to spend the day looking at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

The buildings alone 🤩🥰

*Black Country = coal

Andrew's looking over some classics from our back catalogue!

#Birmingham and the North West are extensively covered by Alan Godfrey Maps! As you can see, he's just starting his Midlands collection 👍🗺📍

Any suggestions for purchases or even places to visit?

Quick detour whilst in Netherton #BlackCountry to visit Hingley’s slag bank (made the anchor for the Titanic) returned to nature but sadly inaccessible (heavily fenced) and sandwiched between housing and industry. #postindustriallandscapes

Kickstarting the new year with a #MiningLandscape. An Xmas tradition for Catherine when she is south of the border it’s either walk to Cobb’s Engine House, Rowley Regis in the #BlackCountry if it’s dry, or up and down the 1.7 miles of #Netherton #canal tunnel if it’s wet. 2025 was dry.

Nothing says home like the #BlackCountry 'osses (unless it's orange chips)
