Worro, I like a whole host of things such as cycling, drinking beer, history, architecture, photography, music and cinema. My interests and passions are all featured within this website in no particular order, mostly within information provided for my extensive archive of images. I hope you find something you like.

Note : you will not find some counties or boroughs on this site. A good example is the West Midlands. As I focus on historical material I do not recognise the Local Government Acts of 1972 and 1974. So, if you are interested in the Black Country have a look at my Staffordshire and Worcestershire sections. Same rules apply when I am cycling in other parts of the UK. For example, If I write about Liverpool I am in Lancashire not Merseyside.

Warning : if I find you have copied any material on this site, be it text or images, I will come after you. I have put in the hours, took the photographs, paid for the historical images, and presented it online for people to enjoy NOT to steal and take the credit.

Watermarks : Sadly, due to Muppets half-inching my images and posting them on other platforms, I have been forced to place watermarks and logos on my images. This sucks, but blame the idiots not me.

Integrity : if, like me, you are tired or annoyed by some of the drivel you read in local history books and online, I can promise that the information on this site is, to the best of my knowledge and efforts, accurate. Have a look at my methodology for more information. If you prefer twaddle I suggest you head off to a social media site.

Offensive : I was born on Lye Waste so I am as rough as they come. I am a straight-talker and not afraid to swear. In fact, I like swearing. If you are going to be offended by such language DO NOT ENTER THIS WEBSITE.
