Remains of a concrete plant
The rusting and dilapidated remains of the old Hanson concrete plant in Newport. It originally (in the 1970s and 80s) belonged to Amey Roadstone Construction, more commonly known as ARC, the UK trading name of the business owned at that time by the South African mining firm Consolidated Gold Fields. After a brief period of ownership by Hanson, followed by an independent existence on the London Stock Exchange, the Amey Contracting and Services part of the business was acquired by a Spanish firm (Ferrovial), whilst the construction materials operation remains with Hanson which in turn was acquired by Heidelberg in 2007 (Are you keeping up?) This particular plant seems to have reached the end of its life.

The connection between William Shakespeare and Newport in Shropshire is unknown, but this inn is named after him. Next door is The Pheasant Inn.

The Shakespeare Inn, Upper Bar, Newport, Shropshire
I always like to see a pub celebrating the Bard. Even in a town with no discernible connection to the great man, maybe especially so. (There is a similarly named inn in Coalport if I recall correctly). Anything that puts a man in mind of the everlasting sayings of Will Shakespeare as he sups his pint has got to be a good thing.
"All the worlds a stage,
And all the men and women merely players,
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts..."

The Railway Tavern, 62 Upper Bar
The railway has long gone from Newport, but this pub is a reminder that it once reached here. It is one of a strange set of ill-assorted neighbours - a solicitor's office on one side, and a tattoo studio on the other.
