Plate on Shrewsbury Canal bridge 47, 1990
Factory Bridge, rebuilt 1913 has only the parapet on the south side of the A5191 surviving, but traces of the other may survive as brickwork reduced to near pavement level. The canal traffic dwindled to nothing in the 1930s and was formally abandoned in 1944.

Old canal related signage beside the main road
The footpath here follows the line of the old Shrewsbury Canal I think. This sign is one of the few remaining elements of that era.

Factory Bridge plaque
The plaque would have been on the bridge that took St Michael's Street over the Shrewsbury Canal and took its name from the nearby flaxmill. It is in near enough its original location as this cycleway follows the line of the former canal.

'The Maltings' Hair and Beauty Salon
This has the appearance of a converted public house. The name refers to the former brewery maltings opposite in the Ditherington Flax Mill complex.
The houses beyond date from the early 1800s and were built to house workers in the mill. Apprentice and clerks houses were provided within the complex.
The trapezoidal plan shape of the building reflects the course of the Shrewsbury Canal which crossed the road diagonally at this point.

Building on the corner of St Michael's Street and Crewe Street
The building, originally a pub as shown on the 1902 map, has an unusual double-pitched roof. It is currently for sale but was most recently used as a hair salon. There is a postbox in the wall. See Image for further comment.
