Hello folks! So, as much as I hate being in photos, I've decided to start collecting photos of myself wearing our beloved RPR logo in various iconic locations. The start of my journey with the shirt begins at the Black Country Living Museum.
This place is an incredible representation of the worlds first industrial landscape. Not only this but I think a very fine RP setting, if you ask me! And here it begins:
Here's the RPR shirt with an in character actor set in a fabulous living room of one of the fantastic old houses they have on site.
And the shirt once more at the head of a boardroom table in the workers institute

What else did the RPR Shirt do that day? (Fabulous RP settings abound)
Isn't this a beautiful setting? Some kind of a workshop.
And this! This is a tool shop of some kind, inspiring settings, all of these.
This is only here because it made me think of you, Heimdall. Or Heimdoo as some often call you. I honestly misread this shop sign as Heimdoo when i first saw it.
Inside the Chemist.
Coal n' Wheelbarrow.
The RPR Shirt took a trip down some deep canals that connected to the various coal mines beneath the Dudley area. These canals travel far underground and are carved impressively out of the rock and limestone, some of these caves were huge. The mines claimed many lives here, as they did in many places.
There were three tunnel openings in this clearing but this one was most beautiful with an overhang of leafy vines. There used to be a roof on this clearing, but the stone became too weak after too much digging and was blown off with explosives to make the area safer.
I might be wrong but i think this was an entrance to the mine that a body was found in at one point. Spooky.
A very bad shot from inside one of the largest remaining caverns that haven't flooded, held steady by four (i think) stone pillars that had been left there. When you're in there they loom over you quite frighteningly. You might be able to see the band stand in this picture from after the mines closed down. The canals captured the fascination of many and there were events held down in them. You can still get married down there! but a lot of the deeper canal tunnels are now flooded.
A hole bored into the roof of one of the canal tunnels. Got a picture as we passed under, absolutely covered in stalagmites.
An abandoned boat in the canal.
Back out of the cave now, here's a room from the era.
and another!
Desk and typewriter.
An old boat with grass growing in it.
Sweet Shoppe and Bakery with a rainbow overhead.
The whole village after everyone had left towards the end of the day. At the end of the street you can see the lovely Inn called the Glass and Bottle.
And then, lastly, home on the tram.

The shirt also went to Liverpool (but not worn that day) where I saw The Beatles museum, that contained a fair few Elvis Presley relics as well as this fabulous set up from John Lennon's Imagine video:
And of course their drum-kit set up in the recreation of the Cavern Club:
It also later took a bit of a trip through Blackpool before finally returning home with me
