St George's church at Pontesbury

The building and tower as seen now date primarily from the mid 19th century, when a major rebuild took place - the late 13th century chancel survives, but much of the original building was taken down and the stonework re-used in places. There are copies of medieval arches and assorted features of historical interest internally, including a 12th century font, a display of original floor tiles and a couple of 17th century parish chests, along with memorials to various local former residents. The whole structure was Grade II* listed Link

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 & 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.

Plealey Road railway station (site), Shropshire

Opened in 1861 by the London & North Western Railway on the short branch line from Hanwood to Minsterley, this station closed to passengers in 1951. View west from the road. The single railway line crossed left to right in front of the house, now a private residence, roughly where the modern gate now is. The single platform was to the left of the house, hidden from view.
