EPW045488 ENGLAND (1934). Housing under construction along Meole Crescent with Shrewsbury in the distance, Meole Brace, from the south-west, 1934. This image has been produced from a damaged negative.

The S&M (so aptly named from the passengers' point of view) had closed to passenger trains by 1934, but was still open (in as far as any Colonel Stephens line was ever properly open) for goods trains, and in fact the spur into Abbey station was the last remnant, only finally closing (as an oil depot) in 1988.
