An old course of the River Severn on the outskirts of Shrewsbury
The Severn changed course at the end of the Last Glaciated period around 12,000 years ago, it is thought. This drastic alteration left its previous course as an empty river bed, or lowland, which remains to this day of course and is now an SSSI and wildlife haven on the edge of housing developments in the suburbs.
It looks a fascinating area, of marsh, bulrush beds, wetland grasses and scrub.

Part of Ditherington Flax Mill
The buildings in the Flax Mill complex include associated or ancillary buildings such as the apprentice house, the dye house, the flax dressing building, the flax warehouse, the stables, workshops and offices. The mill and all its buildings are on the Buildings at Risk Register.
Today they are still very much a roost for colonies of pigeons.
