Postcard from Shropshire 3

Hello....thought I would get another post in while the old girl is still working....I think I may have worked her to death (my computer!)

Isn't this the most delightful cottage....straight out of a fairy-tale.

On Friday we re-visited a lovely place.
Bromfield.
A photo of Bromfield I used in my 365 Project in 20011 is here in this post

and a post about it here when we visited in 2010 in August

The owners had done a lot of work on the weir.

And the Mill buildings had been made safe.

It is such a beautiful, peaceful place.

The old Priory Gatehouse is now a holiday cottage.

The wildflowers this year are stunning don't you think?

The Pump rooms at Tenbury Wells

Then we headed south to Tenbury Wells,

It is a sweet little market town in Worcestershire but also on the border of Shropshire and Herefordshire.

A very helpful lady showed us inside the pump rooms built in 1862.

Tenbury got the 'Wells' part of it's name in the 19th Century to help promote the mineral water wells that had been found in the 1840's.

The Regal Cinema opened on 29th July 1937

It is decorated inside by the artist George Legg.

The round market

We had never visited the town before and we loved it.

St George, Milson

Then we drove out of town and stopped at Milson for a picnic lunch.

The ancient Yew in the church yard of St George.

Then on to Cleobury Mortimer (pronounced Clee-bree) where the trees on the High street are trained along ropes.

And St Mary's has a crooked spire.

Then onto Bridgenorth.
Bridgenorth has a High Town and a Low Town.
We parked in the High Town part and walked along the main street.

You can walk in and look around the very pretty Town Hall.

It has some fine stained glass windows.

Then a walk around the High Town.

We found the library had been Yarn Bombed!

Then we had a trip on the steepest inland funicular railway in Britain down to the Low Town.

The Low Town was once a thriving port on the banks of the River Severn.

Then back up the hill and home.
