    Good to see the old building is still there Clive. Remind me, this is just down from the Police Station isn't it?

    I always recall seeing this building when my youth football team, Rayners Lane Rangers, played the Church Lads Brigade on the ridiculously slopping pitch directly opposite the RLB.

    Springfield Brewery War Memorial
    The War Memorial is a figure of a British soldier mounted on a granite plinth standing at 16ft, was originally erected in 1923 at William Butler's Springfield Brewery in Wolverhampton to commemorate the firm's employees who had served and fallen in the First World War.

    In 1949, the firm added a Second World War roll of honour on a second plinth which raised the height of the monument.

    The memorial was relocated to Black Country Living Museum in 2010, and is located at the top of the site looking over the Museum.

    CK,

    I note from another forum that you did not waste your visit to Taunton, or restrict it to just outdoor photography. Thanks as always for posting these images up on here for us to enjoy.
