Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, England. Shrewsbury is a market town whose centre has a largely unaltered medieval street plan and over 660 listed buildings, including several examples of timber framing from the 15th and 16th centuries. Shrewsbury Castle, a red sandstone fortification, and Shrewsbury Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery, were founded in 1074 and 1083 respectively by the Norman Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery. The town has historically been a centre for the wool trade and brewing. Horticulture remains popular, and the Shrewsbury Flower Show is one of the largest horticultural events in England.
Located 9 miles (14 km) east of the Welsh border, Shrewsbury serves as the commercial centre for Shropshire and mid-Wales, with a retail output of over £299 million per year and light industry and distribution centres, such as Battlefield Enterprise Park, on the outskirts. The A5 and A49 trunk roads cross near to the town, and five railway lines meet at Shrewsbury railway station.
Shrewsbury is about 14 miles (23 km) west of Telford, 43 miles (69 km) west of Birmingham and the West Midlands Conurbation, and about 153 miles (246 km) north-west of the capital, London. More locally, the town is to the east of Welshpool, with Bridgnorth and Kidderminster to the south-east. The border with Wales is 9 miles (14 km) to the west. The town centre is partially built on a hill whose elevation is, at its highest, 246 feet (75 m) above sea level. The longest river in the UK, the River Severn, flows through the town, forming a meander around its centre.
Shrewsbury is the county's public transport hub and has road and rail links to the rest of the county and country. Five railway lines connect the town to most corners of Shropshire and the region, and the town is known as the Gateway to Wales. Shrewsbury railway station is served by Arriva Trains Wales and London Midland with trains running north to Chester, Manchester, Crewe and Wrexham, south to Hereford and Cardiff, west to Aberystwyth, and east to Birmingham via Telford, Shifnal, and Wolverhampton.

4K. PART 3 OF SHREWSBURY & CRUISING THE RIVER SEVERN ON THE SABRINA.
Here is a little history relating to that name Sabrina.
THE BOAT IS NOT NAMED AFTER Norma Ann Sykes (19 May 1936 – 24 November 2016), better known as Sabrina or Sabby. Sabrina was one of a host of exotic, glamorous (British) starlets ... modelled on the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Lana Turner.
The River Severn, famous for its tidal bore, is the longest river in Britain. According to some sources, the name 'Severn' is derived from Sabrina (or Hafren in Welsh) and is based on the mythical story of a nymph who drowned in the river.
Facts: Dilwyn Jones, Is the Owner of The Sabrina.
Dilwyn brings his personality to Sabrina. You will meet him occasionally driving the boat, overseeing your private party or visiting trade shows, and when you do, you won’t forget him!
Dilwyn’s favourite thing about the water? Is when there’s not too much of it!
Ian Green is the Skipper of The Sabrina. He drives the boat with pizzazz, and a complete enthusiasm, while keeping you informed on Shrewsbury’s history with his interesting commentary.
Ian’s favourite thing about the water? Watching the cormorants dive for fish.
Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, in western England. It sits inside a loop of the River Severn, and its Tudor centre is lined with half-timbered houses. The medieval, red-brick Shrewsbury Castle houses the Shropshire Regimental Museum, where military artefacts include uniforms and weaponry. St Chad's Church is defined by its unique circular nave, and St Mary’s Church has elaborate stained-glass windows. The core content contained in the above combined articles, was originally written by several A.N. Others + myself, then combined.

Over the centuries the lives and landscape of Shrewsbury has been forged by the River Severn. This has made it possible for the town to thrive, providing an abundance of food and water to power industry. When the floods came, she fertilise the land, sweeping nutrients from the Welsh mountain soil and replenishing the earth from which farmers work. And with the same stroke, the very lifeblood of the town has caused destruction as she carves away through stone and dirt to shape the Shrewsbury we see today.
The mighty River Severn is Britain's longest river. It runs for 220 miles from the Welsh mountains, through the beautiful Shropshire and Worcestershire countryside and down to the flat lands of the Severn estuary.
Thanks to the Severn Way, a continuous towpath along the Severn, you can explore the whole length of the river on foot from source to sea. It’s quite a stroll.

The Durham Light Infantry (D.L.I.) was a light infantry regiment of the British Army in existence from 1881 to 1968. It was formed in 1881 under the Childers Reforms by the amalgamation of the 68th (Durham) Regiment of Foot (Light Infantry) and the 106th Regiment of Foot (Bombay Light Infantry) along with the Militia and Volunteers of County Durham.
The regiment served notably in the Second Boer War, World War I and World War II, the Korean War and the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation. During times of peace it had duty in India, China, West Germany and Cyprus.
In 1968, the regiment was amalgamated with the Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and the King's Shropshire Light Infantry to form The Light Infantry, which again amalgamated in 2007 with the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment, the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment and the Royal Green Jackets to form a new large regiment, The Rifles, which continues the lineage of the regiment.
UK: WROXETER: BURIED ROMAN CITY DISCOVERED
English/Nat
Archaeologists in Britain have uncovered a Roman city the size of Pompei without lifting a trowel.
The archaeologists may live in the world of the past but they've enlisted the latest technology to look beneath the soil.
It took thirty years to uncover this much of the roman town of Wroxeter.
But in the fields beyond, there remains a Roman city, hidden from view underneath the pastures and hedgerows.
It might have remained like that forever if Birmingham University's archaeologists hadn't called in cutting edge technology to uncover history's secret.
This machine tests electrical resistance in the ground. When a building lies beneath the earth, the machine registers a different reading compared to the soil around it.
The archaeologists are also using magnetometry, radar, and aerial scanning.
These pictures show a building that goes round a courtyard. The results of different methods are compared on the computer.
This aerial scan revealed a Roman villa with its own private road.
Even so, sometimes technology can take a back seat to more traditional methods.
A recent dry spell left the ground so parched that the town began to reveal itself. The yellow strips on the earth mark Roman roads lying several feet below the earth's surface.
SOUNDBITE:
We have four or five techniques at the same area. We are going to process these using the computer, using mathematical techniques, to find out which of them actually gives us which information. That will be useful for archaeologists anywhere in the world
SUPER CAPTION: Martijn Van Leusen, Birmingham University
The team is sharing their discoveries with others on the Internet. This is an artist's impression of the site before the new research, showing a sleepy town. New drawings will show a thriving city.
SOUNDBITE:
The bit immediately behind took thirty years of concentrated digging just to do this one concentrated tiny part of the town. If we wanted to do the whole lot it would take us a couple of hundred years, hundreds of people and a budget that we just couldn't comprehend, no way we could get it.
SUPER CAPTION: Roger White, Wroxeter Project Archaeologist
Technology cannot replace more traditional archeology altogether. But as this project is showing, it's a cheaper, quicker way of finding out what treasure the earth maybe hiding.

Victorian British Army - The Gloucestershire Regiment March
Wartime memories brought back to life in Shropshire
The banks of the River Severn stepped back in time and it seemed that characters from a film set had descended on Jackfield in the Ironbridge Gorge.
Re-enactment enthusiasts from across Shropshire and beyond pulled out all the stops to ensure the event was a success.
Roy's Story (Man Down)
- The full eight minute version of this popular film features an interview with Roy, a former Infantry soldier who served honourably with The Royal Green Jackets but became homeless in civilian life. His problems were not caused by military service, but relationship breakdown and loneliness; they were further compounded by use of the drugs he resorted to, to deal with his pain. Roy was desperate when he came to Veterans Aid but later credited the charity with saving his life.
Where Airplanes Go To Die - Boneyards Of The World
Get more Tips here! destinationtips.com
Have you ever wondered what happens to an aircraft once it has served out its usefulness? Many obsolete planes find their final resting spots in an airplane graveyard, where they sit dejectedly among their fellow former flying brethren. Lots of them are still technically airworthy, but they are parked in the desert or some out-of-the-way place due to a slump in demand, waiting for an aviation uptick and their chance to soar again. Some are dismantled for scrap metal or cannibalized for spare parts. These fleets of abandoned behemoths make for some rather haunting yet beautiful images.
Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group (AMARG), Arizona
The largest airplane graveyard is in Tuscon, where the dry, arid Arizona desert keeps rust and corrosion at a minimum. Many of the 4,400 planes in this storage and maintenance facility are recommissioned or repurposed, but others just remain as a relic to their former glory. The place is nicknamed “The Boneyard” and an aerial view from above looks particularly striking.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona
AMARG is part of Davis-Monthan AFB, where hundreds of vintage military planes sit in silence. Since 1946, it was used to house old planes from World War II. The last plane to leave Saigon as it fell rests alongside disassembled Cold War bombers.
Alice Springs Airport, Australia
The “Red Center” of Australia’s Northern Territory is about as dry as it gets, providing perfect conditions for big metal objects to hang out without much deterioration. The is the first large-scale aircraft storage, preservation and graveyard facility outside the United States, and it focuses primarily on Asia-Pacific carriers.
Roswell International Air Center, New Mexico
See if you can spot any abandoned spacecraft in amongst the parked airplanes in limbo at this Roswell graveyard. This facility is where the crashed UFO was apparently taken for analysis in 1947, at least according to some conspiracy theorists.
RAF Shawbury, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
This former Royal Flying Corps airfield dates back to WWI and now serves primarily as a storage depot for grounded obsolete aircraft. In March 1994, Blackburn Buccaneer subsonic strike jets were retired from Royal Air Force service. Some of these two-seater bombers are on display at aviation museums around the world, but many have come to this Shrewsbury facility to be stripped and recycled, mere ghosts of their former glory.
Southern California Logistics Airport, California
Where do commercial planes rest in peace? Many of them end up in the desert, including this one near Victorville, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Lots of old jumbos are spending their retirement years here.
Mojave Air and Space Port
About 1000 commercial airlines are mothballed at this Civilian Aerospace Test Center. At an elevation of 2,791 feet and in the heart of the Mojave desert means conditions are ideal for parking these used birds. Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed planes from many major airlines are stored and scrapped here.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Nigeria
The Lagos airport has an adjacent field that is littered with the carcasses of old planes from failed airlines. Most are dilapidated and have been picked apart for scrap.
Phoenix Goodyear Airport, Arizona
Here is a row of American Airlines DC-10s at the end of their life cycle, sitting side by side in the arid Arizona desert awaiting their ultimate fate. There’s almost an artistic sculptural quality to their formation.
Manas International Airport, Kyrgyzstan
Since 1991, this boneyard in Bishkek has hosted lots of disbanded Soviet relics, including some Aeroflot Tu-134 aircraft.
Khodynka Aerodrome, Russia
Moscow’s former Khodynka Aerodrome (the birthplace of Russian aviation) is littered with 20-odd rotting relics and decaying war-birds from a bygone era, remnants of an abandoned museum. Juxtaposed with modern Moscow, these rusty shells have a rather eerie yet captivating quality.

Exploring a creepy abandoned WW2 airbase
The second world war saw the creation of many much needed military installations to go with the huge growth in military personnel in Great Britain. Once the war was over however, the size of the armed forces as greatly reduced and as such, the number of installations needed also became fewer. Many of these bases still exist despite being abandoned. In this video we check out an abandoned airfield base just outside Whitchurch in Shropshire, England.
