ItsCarryl has moved - see bio.Having an early light lunch in #Madeley after a few faffs trying to find bus stops and daytripper tickets. That ticket only seems fo exist in West Mindlands Network’s imagination and I missed the bright orange “can’t miss it” bar with the bus stop outside. We got it right eventually to then find Apple maps has also conjured a bus route that the bus stop has no knowledge of 🤦🏻♀️ We’re waiting for the right one at last. There’s a nice cafe and library here.

Nearlyknowledgeable 👻The memorial to 'The nine men of Madeley' is tucked away in St Michael's churchyard. The nine men, most still boys, were victims of a mining disaster, which shook the little community.

St Michael's churchyard is home to some remarkable graves, each with their own story. One of the most poignant of these is the handmade stone of Charles Arthur Turner.
