War Department boundary marker
Built into the northern boundary wall of what was once Copthorne Barracks (Sir John Moore Barracks), the headquarters of the King's Shropshire Light Infantry from the 1880s until its disbandment in the mid 1990s. This stone is quite weathered and hard to read, but at least some of the legend can be made out on close inspection as 'W D No ?? ?? N', and there is another similar stone at the base of a brick buttress a hundred yards or so further east Image
A couple more have survived the demolition and redevelopment of much of the barracks, and remain in the southern perimeter wall Image & Image

Copthorne Park
Shrewsbury's suburbs are characterised by fairly distinct areas of development with pockets of green space, often uncultivated, hidden between them. This is a small area of common land in the middle of an estate in the west of the town.
