M54, Mossey Green Bridge

The M54 is a 23 mile east-west motorway in Shropshire and Staffordshire. It is a two-lane dual carriageway for the majority of its length, with sections of three-lane. The M54 spur connects the M6 motorway near Essington, Staffordshire with the A5 trunk road at Wellington, Shropshire. The motorway forms part of the route to North Wales, roughly following the path of the Roman Watling Street and the A5 north-westwards, towards the port of Holyhead.

Spout Farm House: isolated

The Southwater development has removed the pool and left Spout Farm House isolated in a wasted land.

Southwater Development

The pool has been removed and the ground is being cleared in preparation for the Southwater Development, planned to include a palatial council office building. Following the May 2011 council election, the party now in power is reviewing this and says that the hundreds of millions of pounds involved might be better spent elsewhere - or not spent at all. This sea of mud may become a permanent feature. SJ6908 : Spout Farm House: isolated (centre) remains.

Dawley High St

This image was taken during the late afternoon, early evening during mid-week. During 2010 and 2011 the outgoing (Tory) council spent tens if not hundreds of thousands of Council Tax payers Pounds sterling on bringing life back to the town centre. This seems to be the result - typical. Or is it a case of the law of unintended consequences.

Church of the Holy Trinity

The sandstone church of the Holy Trinity in Dawley was built 1845 and was designed by Harvey Eginton of Worcester. It replaced Dawley's old Norman church which stood a little to the south-east of the present church. The earliest part of the church is probably its font, which dates back to the Norman period (12th-century).
