West Midlands region in England

September 11 - 14, 2017

We toured the Morgan Motor Company in Malvern. Morgan's are hand made with a wood frame, aluminium body, and leather interiors. The tour was excellent. The cars are fabulous.

The tour starts in a showroom with all the types of cars they currently build.

Three Wheel Morgan finishing line.

The cars really are built with a wood frame.

This is how they move the car from one building to the next.

Final finishing. Looking good!

 Ledbury England is known for its old timber framed buildings. Most were built in the 17th century.

The black and white Market Building

Another old black and white building

Notice how the timber frame is not straight. Makes you wonder what it is like inside.

Church Street is known for all the old black and white buildings.

An antique for sale.

The church pews were full of these needle point cushions.

Kidderminster Railway Museum

Old railway signs in the museum

The very old market town of Bridgnorth located on the River Severn. The High Town area sits on 100 foot cliffs overlooking the river. This is another town full of black and white timber framed buildings.

Castle ruins built around 1100. The tower leans about 15 degrees. It looks like it could fall over any moment.

Holy Austin Rock Houses were carved into a sandstone ridge. Families lived in the houses until the late 1800's. The houses are located near Stourbridge.

Front door for one of the rock houses.

Dining room in a rock house. The rooms were all painted white and were bright inside.

Kitchen area in a rock house.

All the rock houses had an elaborate chimney.
