Wrockwardine Wood Inclined Plane, Shropshire
I regret I do not have an accurate grid reference for this photograph, but it certainly is inside the gridsquare SJ 7012. It shows the site of one of the inclined planes of the Shropshire high-level canal system in this area. The planes were used to transfer tub-boats (20ft x 6ft 3ins in size) from one level to another. The tub-boats were worked in 'gangs' of four, being managed by one man and one boy. They reached the main canal system by being lowered down the Tranch inclined plane, about 1 mile westwards from here. The canal line was easily traceable until the mid-1960s, but has now completely disappeared.

Wrockwardine Wood Methodist Church
The plaque reads:
Primitive Methodist Chapel, re-erected MDCCCLXIII [1863]
'The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts' Haggai II IX
In September 2008 this former church was 'under offer' as a 'possible redevelopment opportunity', 'subject to planning'. I don't know what is proposed regarding the many well-maintained graves in front of it.

Award-winning Chip Shop
This humble building is home to a chip shop that has enjoyed a high reputation for decades. Years ago it was Percy Dean's and was famous for good quality then, but in 2007, under its new name it won county-wide acclaim.
