Shrewsbury Crewe Bank Signal Box
Shrewsbury Crewe Bank Signal Box, switched out, all main line signals cleared. An ARP design built by the GWR during World War Two. From what I gather this box is only manned when certain local movements are required. I also understand that Network Rail have permission to abolish and demolish so it certainly seems to be living on borrowed time.

Part of Ditherington Flax Mill
The Flax Mill buildings are impressive in height and scale - their cast iron framing and concrete construction enabling them to attain many storeys in height at a time when older wooden based, stone or even brick construction had obvious limits.

Construction detail at Ditherington Flax Mill, Shrewsbury
The concrete and cast iron framing method of construction can be seen in this massive wall. Still a familiar sight on modern bridges, large buildings and civil engineering projects nationwide.

Lane behind Ditherington Mill site, 1990
More modern buildings on the flax mill site, which was converted to maltings in 1897, closing in 1987. The original buildings are mostly grade I listed. This lane seems quite old, it went nowhere except water meadows, but now is part of a cycle and footpath system.
