Plain red brick may have been good enough for the Victorians, but round here our eyes seek a little Vandalism!

"And did those feet in ancient time, walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God, On England's pleasant pastures seen?"
I had to write the above, I simply could not resist. I wish I could recall fond memories of Selly Oak. I similarly wish I could follow that sentence with anything that was not likewise negative. The closest I have is the following: On a dark Friday afternoon I once fell asleep on a bus leaving Broad Street, in Birmingham. I awoke in Selly Oak to be told the bus couldn't proceed further due to localized flooding. I got home safely to the utopia that was Redditch. The weather really was torrential. (End of story.)
The above photographic offering belongs to Herbz. He shares a mountain of graffiti images from the surrounding Dudley, Stourbridge, Selly Oak, etc. Fans of urban art would be well advised to see his take on the modern British cityscape.
