Telford never seems to stop growing
More new housing being built on the SE side of the existing Priorslee estates; this development by Redrow Homes is known as Abbey Fields, and will shortly be the proud site of lots more 2, 3 & 4 bedroom houses.

View across Priorslee Lake
Castle Farm Reservoir is the formal name for this lake, which was created in the 1980s to take rainwater drainage from the (proposed, at that time) housing estates to the north, and release it slowly into the Wesley Brook.

Sailing on Priorslee Lake, Autumn 1987
Precise date not recorded, unfortunately, but this image of a dinghy and a couple of windsurfers was taken in August or September 1987 on the relatively newly-flooded Castle Farm Reservoir, which is now known as Priorslee Lake. Its main purpose is to take drainage from the housing estates of Priorslee to the north, and to a lesser extent the motorway to the south, and release it gradually into the Wesley Brook which runs through Shifnal and on to the River Worfe. It's always been home to a small sailing club, and is also a local nature reserve.

Wesley Brook flows into Priorslee Lake
Well, there's the brook; and there's the lake. The obstruction doesn't stop the water. I didn't want to disturb a nesting swan (not visible here), so was less intrepid than usual.
