An inviting prospect - a path disappaering off to who knows where, the sun is shining and the grass is greener on the other side.

1970's style detached house on Racecourse Lane, Shrewsbury
This house may well date from a different decade but it seem very 1970's in essence; large windows, open plan sitting room and lots of roof. Interesting property.

The former Shelton Hospital
Shelton Hospital started life as Shropshire and Wenlock Borough Lunatic Asylum in March 1845, a name which certainly wouldn't pass muster these days! It was extended about 30 years later, and then renamed as the Salop Mental Hospital just after WW1. It closed as a National Health Service facility in 2012, and whilst some of the smaller buildings on site have been demolished, the main ward blocks and the chapel have been converted to housing; it now sits in the middle of the extensive Leighton Park housing estate. The whole main block was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101270532-shelton-hospital-shrewsbury & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1270532 in 1993.
