War Memorial, Middleton on the Hill No names are recorded on the memorial as Middleton on the Hill was one of the three Thankful Villages in Herefordshire, in that its sons and daughters went off to war in 1914-18 and 1939-45 and all returned safely. Knill and Pipe Aston shared this distinction with Middleton.

Layby near Brimfield The A49 south of Ludlow was greatly improved in the late 1960s. Bends were straightened out at Ashford Bowdler, Ashton, Stockton's Cross, Dinmore, Wellington and Moreton. Some of the bends were left as laybys. For some idea as to what the road was like before, look at the stretch south of Bayston Hill.
