"Yes, dad, you called?"

Barkley comes charging back down the footpath in response to a whistle; there can't have been any pheasants around at that moment.

The pond bay in Trinity Wood

Normally the remains of a medieval fishpond or some such; this certainly has that look about it, although the details are hard to make out in the picture. An oval depression is surrounded by banks approximately 10' high.

On the footpath towards Nordley

At this point, the path is a reasonably well-marked affair; this is not so true further northeast.

Footpath back towards Cross Lane Heads

Little effort had been made to maintain this path through the crop - Daft Dog and I were forced to wade, thigh deep in my case, through the wet crop. Great fun. All the stiles and gates are in place, but the path is rarely used.

Bridleway heading for Nordley

Just a field-edge path, but apparently fairly well used by the local horse riders.

Bridgnorth: Marketplace

This old building was the old market and is situated in the south eastern section of the grid square. The picture was taken from the south side of the building.

The title just about sums it up...

Pendlestone Mills

Also known as Fort Pendlestone. Originally there was a corn mill on the site but this is a more recent cotton mill. It was originally water powered but was later supplemented by a vertical steam engine of Yorkshire build. The late George Watkins photographed this in 1953 but it's long gone. The Mills are rather fine but squeezed in beside the road and currently fenced off. Need I say they are being adaptively reused, although it seems to have been ongoing for a couple of years.
