I've yet to climb The Wrekin, but I have driven around it (and what a journey that was!). :D Merry Christmas! It won’t quite be the same without seeing the towers when on the way to Ironbridge.

In my area the estates they build are not nearly as nice as where I live. The road infrastructure in the area will need careful planning as it leads to a tourist area which is busy in summer. You should climb the Wrekin with the remains of a hill fort and bronze aged barrows. The nearby Ercall woods are also well worth a visit for their geological features. This route was written a few years ago and needs checking for current access but the history remains :-) And recently restored is the Wrekin Halfway House providing refreshments at certain times of day. This is a lovely memory brought back to life for me :-) I live on an estate and it is lovely. In my area the estates they build are not nearly as nice as where I live.

We need housing - and today's estates aren't as bad as yesterday's (which too many people are still living in). I have never climbed The Wrekin - that 'to visit' list never gets any shorter!

The valley needs trees not houses but I suppose there is no profit in planting trees... I wouldn’t have been so sad about them coming down if the area was going to be repopulated with trees.

To record the happy scene”

[Chorus]
“Hold it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
What a picture, what a photograph
Poor old towers, blimey what a joke
All blown up in a cloud of smoke
Clap hands, stamp your feet
Banging on the big bass drum
What a picture, what a picture
Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum
Stick it in your family album”

I wish they would plant some trees where they stood … All the best Jan It’s amazing how these cooling towers come down … it is a sight to see, but so often a sad sight.

The cooling towers were much cooler than a large housing estate in the middle of the valley. It would be nice if the new beginning was trees rather than houses.
