Shrewsbury English Bridge, Shropshire added to Bridges in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 25/05/2023

Shrewsbury is a great place to fly but you will need to authorise a DJI NFZ RC unlock on the its West side (due to Copthorne Brks and RAF Shawbury) but you should be ok at this spot on the Eastern side. Shawbury rarily fly at weekends but worth checking with their ATC to be certain.

I parked next to the Shrewsbury Abbey as the carpark is free on Sunday.

The Shrewsbury English Bridge Info
The masonry arched viaduct that is the English Bridge crosses the River Severn in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The Grade II listed bridge seen today is a 1926 rebuilt and widened structure, that uses the original masonry from John Gwynn's completed design of 1774.
A bridge is known to have stood at this location since at least Norman times and historically was known as the "Stone Bridge". The original Norman construction consisted of five arches and a timber causeway. It had a large tower on the Eastern bank that housed a gate and drawbridge and supported a number of shops and houses.
The building of Gwynn's £16000 replacement commenced in 1769, and comprised of seven semicircular arches, 400 feet long. The 55-foot span central arch was built higher to provide headroom for boats, but unfortunately this resulted in steep approaches.
To resolve the issue a new design was approved in 1921 that lowered all the arches, converting the central one into a segmental arch and reducing the height of the roadway by 5 feet. The present bridge is 50 feet wide, and more than twice the width of Gwynn's original structure. The cost of this build was £86,000 and it was formally opened by Queen Mary in 1927.
The English bridge is one of two that forms the main east-west route over the Severn as it loops around Shrewsbury, the other being the Welsh Bridge on the opposite side of the town and despite its name both bridges lie within the English border.
Thomas Telford's Holyhead Road, dating from 1815 and connecting London to the main sea-crossing to Ireland used the English Bridge to cross the Severn here. The A5 now bypasses Shrewsbury and therefore the bridge's main role today is to connect the centre of Shrewsbury with the Belle Vue and Abbey Foregate areas of the town.

St Mary Redcliffe Church, Bristol (By richrab)


The Church of St Mary the Virgin, widely known as St Mary Redcliffe, is the main Church of England parish church for the Redcliffe district of the city of Bristol

The church is considered one of the country's finest and largest parish churches as well as an outstanding example of English Gothic architecture. The church is so large it is sometimes mistaken for Bristol Cathedral by tourists. The building has Grade I listed status, the highest possible category, by Historic England.

St Mary Redcliffe has received widespread critical acclaim from various architects, historians, poets, writers and monarchs. In 1541 the English topographer and antiquary John Leland, claimed it was "the most beautiful of all churches" he had seen in England. Queen Elizabeth I, on a visit to the church in 1574, was said to have described St Mary Redcliffe as "The fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England"

Penmon Priory, Isle of Anglesey (By D0c.Col)

Penmon Priory is on the eastern tip of Anglesey. A peaceful historic site with roots stretching back more than 1,400 years.

Founded in the 6th century by Saint Seiriol, Penmon became an important early Christian site before later developing into an Augustinian priory. Although the original monastery was largely destroyed during Viking raids in 971, the community survived, and the priory was rebuilt in stone during the medieval period.

The church still survivies and serves the parish. The atmospheric priory remains, the ancient carved crosses, and the remarkable nearby Penmon Dovecote, once home to hundreds of pigeons and doves are all fascinating to see.

Drone footage can be taken overlooking the Menai Strait and the mountains of Snowdonia. Penmon is one of those quiet Welsh heritage sites where history, landscape and atmosphere come together beautifully.

There is a small charge if you want to use the Priory carpark, that also applies to the nearby Penmon Point Lighthouse just a little further on up the toll road, where there is also a cafe and toilets.

National Indoor Athletics Centre [NIAC] - Cardiff, Cardiff (By stubbyd)

Not the most inspiring of images, but truth be told I was tired after being on my feet for the prior 8hrs shooting our annual martial arts tournament.

Also, the title is a little misleading as the 'indoor' part is all under that curved white/gey roof. What can be seen is 'Cardiff Met FC' (aka Cyncoed Stadium) and the outdoor tracks which, I'm told, also hosts the NIAC Junior Parkrun.

There is plenty of parking here, but it is at a cost and being private land I don't know their stance on TOAL. However, there is plenty of on-street parking and spots to TOAL and land from and I've marked one of each of these.

Stunning Sea cliffs, turquoise sea, amazing light, just had to be flown!

A short walk on a dirt path from the free car parking, no facilities, and some cliff edges to be careful around..

Lots of birds, hence ot flying through the arches, and keeping the drone higher. It is an SSSI, but we flew before the breeding season had properly started, and didnt upset any of the birds anyway...
