Stone Sheep

Is that a sheep outside the pub? No, it's just a stone one. Great stuff. Taken at the The Tavern, Denstone, Staffordshire.

Stone Island

Danish Cross

St.Bertram's Bridge

A picture of St.Bertram's Bridge in Ilam, which is named after the saint who died there.

Pike Watts Tomb

This is a picture of the Pike Watts family tomb from St.Bertram's Church in Ilam. A lot of people find it creepy. I just think that it is extremely ostentatious.

Saxon Cross

Here is a picture of the Saxon Cross dating from 11th Century which stands outside St.Bertram's Church in Ilam, Staffordshire.

Shrewsbury Castle

Here is a rather poor picture of Shrewsbury Castle taken from the train platform waiting for the train to Crewe.

A walk in the park on a wet day in Shrewsbury

There are a lot of impressive things to see in Shrewsbury. This isn't one of them, taken walking through the park with a hangover on a very wet Wednesday morning.
