The perfect place to take your maiden aunts!<br /> It closed in 2016 and was replaced by the trendier local chain, Wildwood, but that too has now closed. I think up for lease on my visit.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54765339673/" title="Ludlow Castle from the far bank of the River Teme, Shropshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54765339673_ae59bb1d96_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Ludlow Castle from the far bank of the River Teme, Shropshire" /></a></p> <p>Ludlow Castle, begun in 1085, is one of the largest and best preserved ruined castles in England. <br /> <br /> The castle has played a key role in some turbulent events in English history. One of its 14th-century owners, Roger Mortimer, helped his mistress Queen Isabella, in the overthrow of her husband King Edward II. In 1473, the famous 'Princes in the Tower', the Prince of Wales and his brother were held here before their mysterious death in the Tower of London. In 1502 Prince Arthur, Henry VII's son and heir to the throne, died at Ludlow. Largely forgotten by history, he died unexpectedly whilst still in his teens, propelling his younger brother Henry to the throne - the infamous Henry Vlll.<br /> The castle towers over the River Teme and overlooks the wild countryside of the Welsh Marches (borders).<br /> Seen from the path that climbs (steeply at first) from Dinham Bridge to the open common of Whitcliffe with its extensive views over Ludlow.<br /> <br /> I stood here for about 40 minutes waiting for some light...just about worth it but ended up running out of time to go in the place.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54765029691/" title="The lower end of elegant Broad Street, Ludlow, Shropshire."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54765029691_89a54501c9_m.jpg" width="240" height="149" alt="The lower end of elegant Broad Street, Ludlow, Shropshire." /></a></p> <p>Looking to the 13th century Broad Gate, the only remaining town gate, although this facade was extended and given a fashionable 'gothic' treatment in the 18th century. <br /> Beyond it can be seen the trees that that are the edge of the wild and very beautiful Welsh border country that sweeps down to the River Teme.<br /> It was a shame the building on the right was covered with scaffolding. A mid 18th century facade (but with an older core hidden within), the owners obviously fell in love with 'Venetian' windows when they were looking at the Pattern books of the day, as all eight on the facade are of that design. Rather over egging the pudding but one of Ludlow's favourite little quirks!<br /> <br /> Broad Street is a quiet thoroughfare of medieval, Tudor and Georgian buildings although many of the latter are little more than facade deep, hiding behind their fashionable brick frontages are much older timber-framed properties. One of the great charms of Broad Street is that it is visually enclosed at both ends, here by the medieval Broad Gate, and at its top end, the 18th century Butter Cross.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54763526574/" title="Broad Street, Ludlow, Shropshire, England"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54763526574_345b47ae33_m.jpg" width="240" height="164" alt="Broad Street, Ludlow, Shropshire, England" /></a></p> <p>A very fine street indeed. Medieval and Tudor half-timbered shops and house at the top end and mostly grand, fashionable Georgian town-houses at the bottom.The street has two visual 'stops' that make all the difference, enclosing the views up and down. <br /> Behind me is Broad Gate, the medieval gateway into town from Ludford, and at the top, in the distance, the Butter Cross in the town centre.<br /> A very civilised and liveable street.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/21946699@N02/">kyfireenginephoto</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/21946699@N02/54753570319/" title="Covington KY - Gas Station"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54753570319_ab4f4d040b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Covington KY - Gas Station" /></a></p> <p>This former service station sits at the intersection of what was once Decoursey Pike (now Bud's Way) and Grand Avenue.<br /> <br /> The original yellow brick building with a red tile roof appears to be 1920's vintage while the two-bay garage addition looks kind of 1950's or 1960's to me.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/21946699@N02/">kyfireenginephoto</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/21946699@N02/54750984641/" title="Troy OH Medic 12"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54750984641_7471a47dfa_m.jpg" width="240" height="167" alt="Troy OH Medic 12" /></a></p> <p>Troy OH Medic 12<br /> 2020 Ford/REV Group<br /> Ambulance<br /> #393023</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54746714320/" title="Classic Ludlow, Shropshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54746714320_05d2be3987_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Classic Ludlow, Shropshire" /></a></p> <p>One of the loveliest small towns in England, Ludlow is dominated by the ruins of a huge royal castle, has more than 500 listed buildings and sits within a bend of the River Teme, all surrounded by the spectacular countryside of the Welsh borders.<br /> Typical of the towns eclectic architecture; the Butter Cross of 1746 at the top of Broad Street, and the timber-framed building across the road, thought to have been built in 1462.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54746301961/" title="Church Street, Ludlow, Shropshire."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54746301961_cb08b7fcb2_m.jpg" width="198" height="240" alt="Church Street, Ludlow, Shropshire." /></a></p> <p>One of the narrow lanes created by the 'in-filling' of wider streets during the medieval, Tudor and Georgian era. I'd love to explore these atmospheric lanes afterdark.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54746260826/" title="The Marketplace, Ludlow, Shropshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54746260826_45cb45b003_m.jpg" width="240" height="151" alt="The Marketplace, Ludlow, Shropshire" /></a></p> <p>Looking to St Lawrence's Church, the largest parish church in Shropshire.<br /> Following the construction of the castle that began in 1070, the town was built in stages in a grid-iron pattern first laid out in the 12th century. Parts of that was 'in-filled' by later development as can be seen here in the buildings and narrow lanes at the market's eastern end.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/55234888@N05/">richellis1978</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/55234888@N05/54744103226/" title="DCS_0401_Watermarked"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54744103226_f109ff62ef_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="DCS_0401_Watermarked" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/55234888@N05/">richellis1978</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/55234888@N05/54744102926/" title="DCS_0399_Watermarked"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54744102926_87f79f7d7c_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="DCS_0399_Watermarked" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jalexlang/">JAlexLang</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jalexlang/54738163968/" title="BNSF 7759 (ES44DC) East, L CAL1161 23F, Ludlow"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54738163968_d9a8d52d07_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="BNSF 7759 (ES44DC) East, L CAL1161 23F, Ludlow" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/195019346@N07/">richie2977</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/195019346@N07/54729378506/" title="Ludlow Steel"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54729378506_1cc2fa50aa_m.jpg" width="240" height="132" alt="Ludlow Steel" /></a></p> <p>The Dee Marsh steel trains have changed operator several times in recent years. This was in 2019 when operated by Freightliner. On Saturday 2nd March, 66621 heads south with 6V75, 09:30 Dee Marsh - Margam.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/195019346@N07/">richie2977</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/195019346@N07/54729588728/" title="Ludlow Stone"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54729588728_e91240987f_m.jpg" width="240" height="122" alt="Ludlow Stone" /></a></p> <p>On the evening of 17th August, Freightliner's 66615 snakes through Ludlow with the Sundays-only loaded stone train running as 6M39, 18:25 Moreton-on-Lugg - Crewe Basford Hall. The service will continue its journey to its destination of Radlett on Monday morning.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/54729330745/" title="Elegant Corve Street, Ludlow, Shropshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54729330745_174255402d_m.jpg" width="240" height="134" alt="Elegant Corve Street, Ludlow, Shropshire" /></a></p> <p>Corve Street curves elegantly uphill before it suddenly narrows as it enters the old walled town.<br /> Remote Ludlow became a centre for fashionable society during the 18th century when the main streets were lined with substantial town houses. <br /> During the 19th and into the 20th century the town stagnated and little new development took place in the centre, preserving it as the beautiful old market town of today.</p>
