Worcestershire Village by Adam Rutter

credit Adam Rutter

Narrow road winds through Wyre Forest

Hugs trees

Twists past fields, crops

Slopes down to

Worcestershire village

From humpback bridge

Railway station

Yellow brick building

Chimney pots above waiting room and house

Bay window juts out to station platform

Canopy holds hanging baskets

Steam train shoots out of GWR poster

By the open gate, telephone Kiosk

Semaphore signal, horizontal

Road slides past Harbour Inn

Descends towards River Severn

Across the footbridge

Oarsman, oarswoman, canoeist ride water currents

Young men swim shallow waters

Ducks flank the riverside

Shop cum post office huddles with cottage and café

On the other side

Courtyard arranged with chairs and tables

Sit, watch Severn drifting by

I like the train shooting out of the poster 🙂

Adam, this is very descriptive; your writing is improving with every piece you write.
