At the corner of Nanny Murphy's Lane
The best explanation for the origin of the name Nanny Murphy's Lane, comes from http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-60490880.html which refers to a local lady called Mary Yates (1649 - 1776) who lived at Lizard Common just up the road from here in the mid 17th century. Amongst her achievements were to walk to London shortly after the Great Fire of 1666, to get married for the 3rd time in her 90s, and to live to the ripe old age of 127. Quite how much of this is genuinely true is rather hard to establish now.
That's postbox number TF11 144 at the junction.

Broken Give Way sign on a corner near Shifnal
In mid-November 2015, the triangular sign is on the grass below its post on a bank on the corner of Nanny Murphy's Lane and the B4379. Its demise has taken some time, based on the evidence of a May 2011 Google Earth Street View when the sign was on the post, but facing the hedge not Nanny Murphy's Lane.
Presumably one or more vehicle collisions over the years loosened the screws securing the sign to the post.
