Lodge and gates, Alberbury (2)

Known as the Welsh Lodge (though still in England), at the south-west entrance to Loton Park. By Thomas Jones, 1832, in a Tudor-Gothic style. It is spikier than its English counterpart, with lots of finials, but the materials are the same - Alberbury breccia and red sandstone. (According to Wikipedia, "breccia is a rock composed of broken fragments of minerals or rock cemented together by a fine-grained matrix".) Grade II listed. The English Lodge can be seen here: SJ3514 : Lodge and gates, Alberbury (1).

Business units at Barn Business Park, Coedway

Old farm buildings have been given over to various small businesses, forming a little business park or retail park. There's a beauty therapist's, an antique's shop, a motorcycle repair workshop, a mountain bike servicing centre, a furniture strippers, a hair salon and a few empty units, unsurprisingly given recent - and even future - trading conditions. I wish them all well, brave souls.
