Once an area of great industrialisation now not so. I'm sure I'm going to upset a few people here. Nevertheless, also the area that gave us Robert Plant and Bonham and quite a few others.

As I've now run off to the Yorkshire Dales I'm sure there will be those who will say I don't know what I'm talking about. And I have to say Yorkshire with the exception of the Classic Rock Society in Rotherham is a bit of a Prog wasteland itself.
No upset for me, much appreciated for the view! We have our industrial wastelands here also...esp near Allentown, home of Nearfest..hmm must be a connection

Wasn't Martin Barre and most of Sabbath from Birmingham?

Thanks, wild..
