1-8 Pretoria Terrace, John Street, Castlefields, Shrewsbury
Apparently built by LMS railway for their Shrewsbury based train drivers in the late Victorian era. The houses have stone flagged back yards rather than gardens, and also an alley, fully cobbled, running around them to give rear access and vehicular access, quite rare in this suburb.

The Telegraph pub name sign, Castlefields, Shrewsbury
Hanging from a wall bracket here, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5159159 the sign depicts the American inventor Samuel Morse, who helped to develop the telegraph & Morse Code systems. The What Pub website states that he has no known Shropshire links. The connection appears to be that the pub opened at about the time he died in 1872.

The Telegraph Vaults public house in Castefields, Shrewsbury
One of two remaining pubs serving this Victorian suburb.
It boasts having the longest bar in Shropshire. Or did, until internal reorganisation several years ago, which necessitated shortening the length of the bar.
Popular with tennis players (there being two tennis courts a short walk away), locals of course and community groups and teams.
The signage is faded and weathered
