<br />
<br />
A quick look at Halesowen Town Centre after leaving The Cornbow Shopping Centre before walking up Hagley Road and back to the bus station.<br />
<br />
<br />
Was Black Country bunting, probably from the 14th July Black Country Day celebrations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plus on the two spheres was yarn bombing from the Halesowen in Bloom team.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also spotted a covered over fake beach behind fences.</p>
