The Butts, Shifnal
A footpath that runs behind new housing (on the left) and the industrial estate (behind the steel fencing); on the 1:2500 map of 1901 it's marked as Lawton Road, and appears to be a narrow country lane or path connecting the Smithfield cattle market area to Lamledge Lane near the railway bridge.

Old pond just south of the railway
A small flock of ducks, probably quite well fed by the residents of the nearby housing, inhabit this old pond which is marked on the maps of 1882 and 1901. Could do with some of the fallen trees removing from it, in my opinion.

Balancing pond or urban drainage pool
A small pool constructed as part of the nearby housing developments, presumably intended to take surface run-off of rainwater and slow its arrival in the local watercourses.

The Butts path
Marked on older maps as Lawton Lane, at which time it ran across open fields between Lamledge Lane at the eastern end and the Smithfield cattle market area on the western outskirts of Shifnal. The fields are now all covered in housing.
