Another scene to discus!
The full title of this picture is "Coal & Fire clay working, Quarry Bank (Near Birch Tree Inn)"
Now I know there was considerable quarrying at Quarry Bank and I would guess this is on the north side of the High Street in Quarry Bank, I lived on the south side and that was farmland and factories (Judge Works) down into Lye.
The map ref given and the Birch Tree Inn do not tie up and neither of them is at Quarry Bank.
The church is St Michael's of Brierley Hill, the chimney next to it is Marsh & Baxter's, and then the the Catholic Church before you see the under construction flats on Mill Street.. The gasworks you can see were on The Delph, so the location of "near the Birch Tree pub" is not far out.
Location details Kindly supplied by Brian Clift, my thanks.
The reason the exact location is hazy is because it did not matter. The context of the slide was to show young Abagail or Jeremy from the Home Counties what open-cast workings looked like, today that information would be accessed on the web, then as now they did not need to see it "in the raw"
I am not even sure Historical Geography is part of current teaching, certainly these slides were binned in the 1990's and it has taken until now for me to sort them and it took Covid-19 boredom for even that to happen!

Fire in a tyre depot spread to adjoining buildings. Time of call; 0648hrs. Incident went MP4, MP6, MP10 and finally MP14. Crews from Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire in attendance
I left the shutter open for 8 seconds and poked the fire mercilessly with a stick to make sure lots of sparks went up. It turned out far more interesting than I'd imagined. It wasn't even a big camp fire.
Feel free to use any of my images - please attribute when possible, and send me a message because I like to see where they end up. scottswigart@gmail.com

Les feux impressionnants du Canada. Au détour d’une conversation, je me suis rendu compte qu’on a maintenant manqué un été complet sur Terre. C’est un drôle de sentiment. Je n’ai pas de photo de vacances dans mon téléphone à vous montrer, mais voici quelques images marquantes de cet été que je n’avais pas encore partagées, principalement des plages sur les côtes de la France continentale et des îles méditerranéennes Impossible de parler de l’été sans repenser aux gigantesques incendies qui ont à nouveau embrasé la Terre, eux aussi sont particulièrement visibles depuis l’espace.
Impressive fires in Canada. We were chatting this week and we realised that we have missed a whole summer on Earth now. It is somewhat a weird feeling (I will get two winters in a row…). We don't have a mobile phone up here that collects the memories and highlights them using an algorithm, but I did some thinking and collected my own most striking summer pictures from the last few months, so mainly beaches along the three coasts of France and Mediterranean islands 😊. It seems nowadays that every summer comes with wild fires, and in between the beaches, glinting seas and clear skies the fires we saw from above will stay in my mind too.
