Village road junction The A488 bifurcates into a one-way system here and merges back into one the other side of the church. There are plenty of no entry signs and road markings to keep traffic on the right road.

Pontesbury railway station (site), Shropshire Opened in 1861 by the London &amp; North Western Railway on the short branch line from Hanwood to Minsterley, this station closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1967.
View north east towards Plealey Road and Shrewsbury. The single railway line crossed left to right in front of the house, now a private residence, and across the road by a level crossing. The single platform was in front of the house, hidden from view. The former goods shed was still extant when this image was taken, and can just be seen behind the trees.

The Ring by Nills Farm on the fringe of Poles Coppice This is a medieval animal pound, which was used to enclose stray or illegally pastured stock. It may have been in use in the fifteenth century onwards. The raised earthworks of this Ring are clearly visible, and provide an atmospheric feel to this green space just off the nearby footpath.
