Hanbury Green junction - Shobdon, Herefordshire
Here, by the green at Shobdon, Hanbury Green joins the B4362, which leads from Presteigne to Mortimer's Cross and Orleton, in this quiet North Herefordshire village. The B4362 was once the route of the main road from London to Aberystwyth. Nearby is Shobdon Airfield. The Shobdon Arches, away to the north of the village, are all that remain of the original Shobdon church, demolished by Viscount Bateman of Shobdon Court. Its replacement, of 18th century date but keeping the 13th century tower, has a rather elaborately decorated interior in blue and white, which has been described as 'striking'. Time photo taken 10.54 am BST (British Summer Time).

Unpleasant shopping experience, Shobdon
The shop in Shobdon. I was refused service as I was down to my last tenner and it was a Clydesdale. They even had a sign up as if they were proud of it. Oh well, Kington's gain - spent more than a tenner there.
(Last time, and I think it was also under the Premier sign was in 1999! To think it still happens).

Milestone, Shobdon
An old looking one with the mileage to London and a sensible spelling of Leominster. Sometimes it is spelt Lempster as well.
