Looking eastwards from the bridge in Edgerley 1, the long-abandoned former route of the Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Railway - nicknamed the Potts - can be seen. Passing through the gate which is seen ahead in the centre of the picture, the line ran through the present Nesscliffe Military Training Area - no public access - to the station house, a rebuilt one, at Shrawardine (locally pronounced Shraden). There are a number of books available which give a history of this former line. Time taken 3.08 pm BST (British Summer Time). Image Image
