Intending to Geograph the former trolleybus turning circle in Shelton Lock, I was most disappointed to find that it has been turned into a small car park, seen here. However, this elegant pylon, standing tall and skeletal against the threatening clouds like some sort of metallic Grim Reaper wielding an armoury of electrical scythes, provided some measure of compensation.
