	Elvis Lives!
	by Tav

It's amazing, Elvis has been spotted in Wyre Forest, and I took his photo. What and, more importantly, where is this?

Elvis Lives! What & Where?

Good luck gusessing. The prize is a candy cane.

He's on the roof of the Peacock in the Horsefair.

Brutus is correct this is a small statute of Elvis Presley on top of the balcony on the Old Peacock Inn (the Peacock) Public House. After I photographed Elvis I asked some regulars why it was there. Apparently the landlord and some locals are massive Elvis fans and while visiting Graceland and Elvis conferences they picked up Elvis memorabilia along the way. One of the locals has already claimed this statue for their headstone! Also the landlord is a Wolverhampton Wanderers supporter.

The Kidderminster Civic Society notes, "The present Old Peacock Inn is late 18th Century in style. It has a castellated parapet and elliptical windows with frosted glass."

Hurray we have a winner! Is this too easy? As the rule states I can nickname any anonymous poster, so everyone welcome to the 'agenda Brutus (that was one of Elvis's dogs). Also well done Brutus, here is your prize a candy cane:

This is my Elvis it was bought from wales as a present for my birthday as a lot of Elvis fans are in the Peacock. We thought it would be nice to have him stood at the pub for everyone to see. I'm glad you all like it and enjoy looking at him. The king as left the building

It's all kicking off in Blighty Tav. The government have caused a petrol strike without a strike actually taking place, so all the petrol in Wyre Forest has run dry. The Upper Class village of Broadway is getting a £200,000 grant for an Ashmolean Museum...

I'll be attending, just out of curiosity though how much advertising was done outside the immediate local? This still doesn't feature on the WFDC events page nor the Shuttle's. What we want is people from Brum or Dudley to look at the great...

Back in November the 'Agenda was discussing a street market for Stourport. I know the 'Stourport Market' blog has been quiet since November - but I wondered if I could make a quick plug for something which is commented on in...
