North Shropshire College Lambing Day today. This lamb was born this morning. It hasn't been tagged, the tail hasn't been docked and the ewe and lamb are still in a small pen away from the other pregnant ewes. When I first got here the lamb was lying in the straw and it didn't seem to be breathing at first. But after a couple of nudges, it eventually staggered up onto its feet, still very wobbly.

Walford and North Shropshire College pond, icy and covered in a thin layer of powder snow.

Now a private dwelling

Opened: c1880. Closed: 1999 Baschurch is on the main route between Shrewsbury and Chester, located at a wayside station with small goods yard and level crossing. The latter has been the cause of the survival of the signal box to the present day. The Beeching cuts were a reduction of route network and restructuring of the railways in Great Britain, 2,363 stations and 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of railway line for closure, 55% of stations and 30% of route miles, with an objective of stemming the large losses being incurred during a period of increasing competition from road transport. Eventually the railway station in Baschurch was closed too.
