The Moveage, Ellesmere Road
Old maps do show a large of that name on a nearby site. Grace's Guide online shows it was occupied in 1917 by G. Woodvine, Engineer. But it's not the present structure. The grounds have been used to develop social housing.

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.
