Shadows and silhouettes – the grave art of St Michaels churchyard, Brierley Hill

image

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare

W. H. Davies

It was a beautiful evening. Arriving early at St Michael’s for a Community First meeting gave me an opportunity to admire the shadows, silhouettes, symmetries and artistic brilliance contained in the churchyard.

There’s almost nothing on grave artists in general on that source of infinite knowledge, Google. It seems to me that the work of the stone masons was something exceptional as these pictures illustrate.

Pensnett’s beautiful Grove Pool and its own ‘Loch Ness’ monster legend

Grove Pool
View from my back garden by Linda Beech

Browsing through the Pensnett, Past and Present Facebook Group I couldn’t help admiring this photograph by Linda Beech taken from the end of her garden, and was fasinated by the legend of a giant fish.

The picture is of Grove Pool, part of the Fens Pool nature reserve.

Brierley Hill and area gets talked down too much. Often by ourselves. Yet pictures such as Linda’s shows what a fantastic place it is to live in.

Comments on the Facebook post would seem to suggest that others agree.

Folk can say what they want about Pensnett, but it’s not so bad

said Kevin Walker.

Sue Bradley agreed

I was born in Pensnett nad never left. It’s not a bad place.

I was particularly interested by the legend of Big Ben. Pensnett’s equivalent of a benevolent Loch Ness monster perhaps?

Apparently Big Ben was a huge old pike which lived in Fens Pool but was too clever to get caught. Mick Cooper commented:

All of my mates knew this to be an absolute fact when we fished there in the 50s.

and as with all conspiracy/ mystery theorists added the clincher as to Big Ben’s existence:

That nobody ever caught him proved his age and guile to us.

Pensnett, Past and Present is a really enjoyable Facebook Group and I would recommend it to those interested in the history of the area.

Deputy Mayoress is former Hawbush School student

Jayne Magin
Hawbush ‘lass’ Jayne Magin

Congratulations to Deputy Mayor Steve Waltho and his partner Deputy Mayoress Jayne Magin who tied the knot yesterday. Steve is one of the most community minded and hard working councillors I know and will make a first class mayor next year.

It was a pleasure to speak to Jayne at the recent Voices for Choices charity launch, I couldn’t help noticing the official regalia she was wearing.

It was one of the old Brierley Hill Urban District chair’s chains off office, now in the care of Dudley Council.

Jayne told me how she was proud to wear the badge of the town where she grew up and how she attended Hawbush School from 1966 to 1972 and then became one of the first intake of Buckpool school.

The mayoral badge displays the coat of arms of Brierley Hill.

As always it was good to see a Brierley Hill residents doing so well.

I wish both Jayne and Steve a happy future together and a successful civic year.

Brierley Hill Chain

On the Waterfront: Council acts to prevent more office to flat conversions. At least I think that is what this is saying.

Earlier this year plans were announced to change Point North on the Waterfront from offices to residential appartments.

The Waterfront is a key economic regeneration area for the Council. So the council has taken action to stop other owners from doing the same. Or from knocking any of the buildings down without permission.

I think.

This is the public notice on display on a lamp post in Level Street.

Is it me or might there be a clearer way of explaining what is going on? I know that it is important to meet the legal requirements, but this is a public notice.

Perhaps it would help if it was written so the public could understand it?
