Cancelled benchmark on N side of the former A5
The 1882 map, published shortly after the 1st Primary Levelling of the country in the period between 1840-1860, shows several benchmarks along this stretch of Watling Street, variously at about 371ft, 373ft, 384ft and 380ft above Liverpool datum. This mark looks like it was one of those; from its location it's probably the 373ft or 384ft mark. However, it appears that the low wall bounding the north side of the road has been rebuilt at some stage, the stone's been moved and reset into the wall in a non-original location, and the mark's been cancelled as a result.

Welcome to Sunnycroft, Wellington
The welcome board is at the Holyhead Road entrance to Sunnycroft, now a National Trust site. Sunnycroft http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2513733 is a substantial red-brick villa, typical of the many thousands that were built for the prosperous middle classes in the late Victorian period. Sunnycroft is one of the very few villas to have survived with largely unaltered contents and decorations.

Watling Street, Wellington
The route of the old A5 through Wellington, before the M54 took all the through traffic away. As the name suggests, also the old Roman road out of Viroconium. Now a much quieter residential area.

Part of the gardens at Sunnycroft, Wellington
Allotments in fact. Local residents tend their own patches. Most common veg and soft fruit can be seen here. A lovely space. Great to explore as you familiarise yourself with Sunnycroft.

Holyhead Road, Wellington
The name gives a clue that this was once a more important road than it is now. Originally part of Roman Watling Street (note the dead straight alignment), it became the A5 in modern times. Nowadays, however, through traffic is directed onto the M54, which runs a short distance to the south, leaving Holyhead Road, with its new designation as the B5061, with hardly any traffic (at least in this view). Golf Links Lane leads off to the right.
