Aerospace museum, Cosford

Lovely day today, off to Cosford. It’s just a 15 minute drive from home, and well worth a visit. Blinding sun reflects off the roof of the huge hangar.

Bridgnorth & Ironbridge

Unusually for this summer, it was reasonably sunny this afternoon. Not quite what you’d normally expect in July, but ok.

Bridgnorth is quietly trying to go upmarket a little. Lots of nice gardens where you can get a drink.

A funicular railway takes visitors up from the river to ‘High Town’ which is the commercial centre.
