Seven Oddments from Shropshire

Our time in Shropshire resulted in a few finds that didn’t make it onto the postcards I sent. Now – thanks to Becky’s Seven in September – I have my chance.

Now you can sort out t’other from which.

  • An owl in a Church Stretton garden.
  • An elderly marionette in an elderly pushchair spotted in an antique shop in Ludlow.
  • A pugilistic fairy figure in Bishp’s Castle.
  • More owls – little ones spotted in Shrewsbury.
  • A peacock mincing – very carefully – down steps at Powis Castle.
  • A decorated drainpipe reminiscent of those in Valencia – in Ludlow.
  • A fish van in Shrewsbury.

Black & White Postcards of Black & White Buildings

Shropshire has well more than its share of half-timbered buildings still in daily use from the Tudor period, as well as more modern Tudorbethan stock. Here are just two examples from our local travels. The feature photo is from The Square in central Shrewsbury, and the image below is from Ludlow.
