Shocklach Bull Inn 1985 Crosville Bristol RELL6G ERG280 paused outside the Bull Inn, Shocklach on 20 April 1985 whilst meandering around the lanes of Cheshire on service D45 from Wrexham. The photographer was a passenger on the service who took his cue to photograph the scene when the driver turned off the engine for a few minutes.

Watercourse in River Dee flood plain The photo clearly shows the flatness of the flood plain through which this stream has cut on its way to the River Dee. It has very little water in it now but the whole area is sometimes completely flooded. The border between England and Wales runs down the line of the stream though there are no signs of this as you walk past.
