Nesscliffe Training Area Photo taken from the end of the public road by what used to be Shrawardine Station on the dismantled Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway which closed in 1960.
The training area is used for helicopter work as was evidenced by my ears but not my eyes at this point.

In the undergrowth at Bentham Hall Farm behind this Romney hut, are the remains of Second World War Nissen huts that were apparently associated with the searchlight battery at Nib Heath. The Romney hut here is the sole survivor.

Barred entrance to military training area near Shrawardine This was a well used training area by American forces in the Second World War. The OS map still has “America” printed to describe the area. It still is used periodically by UK territorial units.

Information board at Shrawardine castle The castle was attacked by the Welsh under Llywelyn in 1215.  It was also a site of conflict in the English Civil War in 1645. 

Nice board. Great work. Lovely use of texture.

Plaque on the churchyard gate at Shrawardine church In 1956 this village won the Best Kept Village award for that year. It is still a very well kept village. Nice to imagine 1956 here. Few cars, no wifi, stronger accents, rationing ending, the war years fading just a tad maybe, optimism, progress, but Suez, Eden and the advent of Elvis?
