Cambrian Railway works, Oswestry
The long since closed Cambrian Railway Works. Oswestry was once quite a rail centre and this works built much rolling stock and overhauled locos in addition to building a couple (or so) locos. It is now a fine antique furniture store. The chimney is a fine example - 150' tall with a square plinth and octagonal stack.
We were busy bypassing Oswestry when the chimney pulled us in siren-like.

Shared path around The Meadows Primary School
All that green open space could surely be used for a few more trees or shrubs...

Oswestry: former Cambrian Railway works
Seen from the car park of Morrison's supermarket.
(It should be noted that inside the supermarket, although the town lies in Shropshire, signs are bilingual in English and Welsh: a reflection of its long status as a border town, in an area where cultural and political borders do not always coincide neatly.)

Formerly part of the route to Gobowen. Although much of the track remains in place, it is not complete. This gap http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4173058 is nearby.
