A peek round the back of the Aldi store
HGV access to the rear of the supermarket and the adjoining home improvements store (Aldi and Wickes respectively) which now occupy the land on Snedshill that was once home to the Lilleshall Company.
Pearson Road - Office units in Central Park
The area now occupied by the Central Park business estate was formerly the Snedshill steelworks, part of the Lilleshall Company's operations. By the mid '70s my recollection is that the steelworks had shut, although many of the buildings were still there, and one shed was occupied by 'The Maggot Factory' which used dead farm animals to breed maggots for angling on an industrial scale; it had a very distinctive aroma, but sold maggots by the gallon for pennies if you had the constitution to walk in and just ask.
Open ground south of Holyhead Road, Snedshill
The area now occupied by the Central Park business estate was formerly the Snedshill steelworks, part of the Lilleshall Company's operations, and the older maps show this land occupied by coke ovens, furnaces, chimneys and travelling cranes. All removed during the 1970s as part of the work to develop Telford as a New Town.

OS benchmark and bolt - Snedshill, St Peter's church
An OS cutmark and bolt from the 1st Primary Levelling of the country between 1840 - 1860; this mark was levelled at 561' 2" above Ordnance Datum Liverpool. It lies on the wall just to the right of the entrance to SJ7010 : St Peter's Church, Priorslee
St Peter's Church at Priorslee
This rather fine, Grade II listed Link
building was erected in 1836, and listed in 1983.

Looking west along Fifth Avenue
Probably not the one you're thinking of; this is the REALLY famous Fifth Avenue in Ketley Bank!
Car park for sheltered housing in Sadlers Fold
These houses around Sadlers Fold are mostly sheltered housing for elderly and vulnerable residents of the area.
Maintenance work on the corner of the recreation field
It wasn't immediately clear what the works here were in aid of, but quite a deep excavation had been made behind the fencing.
OS rivet benchmark - Greyhound Island
A slightly clearer photo than SJ6910 : Rivet Benchmark, and I'd maintain that part of the rivet is still visible. That's not to excuse the clumsy placement of the concrete pad for the fence.
A442 Queensway
Also known to those of us who've lived locally for a few years as The Eastern Primary (or simply the 'EP'), the road was built as part of the development of Telford New Town to serve as a fast distributor road on the eastern side of Telford.
Shared pathway alongside the A442
Part of the extensive network of shared walk/cycleways that are laced through Telford. This one is well hidden by autumn leaf-fall on this occasion.
