After a sudden fierce downpour this rainbow appeared - a complete arch across the sky. The pot of gold might be represented by the wealth generated in the industrial West Midlands.

James Bridge gasholders from A4038 - Walsall, West Midlands
A slightly more distant view of the gasholders in 'Sometime to disappear?' from the A4038 Darlaston Road. Demolition of these landmarks is apparently still planned but when is not clear, neither is the future use of the site. In November 1940 during an air raid a bomb dropped on this site but failed to explode. The site superintendent at the time, Richard Hateley, was awarded the George Medal for preventing one of the tanks from exploding on that night (source heritagewebsite). Time taken 3.16 pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Image
