  1. I love a bit of post industrial decline on a wet Friday morning.

  2. But I would *not* know where you’re from unless my father-in-law was from there… and he only recently (after knowing him for 30ish years) told us about “bostin’” at that!

  3. Looks weird down there now. First time heading that way for a while the other week. Wasn’t expecting all the warehouses to have been pulled.

  4. All that graffiti and no one has painted over the C In canalside? Am yam lazy?

  5. There are gunshot holes through the “Welcome to” sign

  6. Oh I’ve never been to ***mouth but I love Portsmouth 😒

  7. Our cows are concrete. 

    Our roundabouts are numerous. 

    Our football team used to be Wimbledon. 

  8. Home to the inventor of the ‘Famous Infra-Draw Method for the Treble Chance’

  9. The second largest oil refinery in the UK (I think). Wools.

  10. There are a few signs dotted around Dudley and Stourbridge, but this one I know and hate because in may entire 25 years living in the area surrounding it, I’ve not heard anyone say ‘bostin’. Plenty of other black country slang, but not ‘bostin’ and it feels disingenuous having them use to advertise wasteland.

  11. If the signs are to be believed, the ~~C~~anal Capital of Scotland.
