Gobowen: Agnes Gwendoline Hunt memorial
Dame Agnes Gwendoline Hunt (1867-1948) was a nurse who effectively founded the discipline of orthopaedic nursing. She founded a convalescent home for children at a family property near Shrewsbury, latterly in collaboration with the Liverpool surgeon Robert Jones; in 1919 this moved to the former military hospital site at Park Hall, Gobowen, as the Shropshire Orthopaedic Hospital. The hospital is still at the site, now known as The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, whilst a school for the disabled children at the hospital developed into the adjacent Derwen College, a further education college for young adults with learning disabilities. This memorial stands at the entrance to Agnes Hunt Village, an area of bungalows owned by Derwen College.

The line towards Shrewsbury at Gobowen
The line is approximately straight for the next 11000 metres. (For more detail see Image) Just beyond the foot crossing the line divides to the right which leads to Oswestry. It is now defunct although parts are being restored as part of the Cambrian Heritage Railway.
The line to the immediate right of the platform is again redundant.
