The Sentinel in Morrisons Supermarket

Morrisons Supermarket was built on part of the site of the Sentinel Waggon Works and this piece of marquetry was installed in the cafe to commemorate this. Unfortunately part of the work has now been obscured by some of the cafe equipment.

The Tesco sheep

Sited on the southern corner of Tesco Extra car park at the junction of Harlescott Lane and Battlefield Road. Other roads meeting at this traffic-light controlled junction are Featherbed Lane and Whitchurch Road. I think these multi-coloured fibreglass sheep are rather fun and I'm pleased to see they have the right sort of 'haircut' to be Shropshires.
