Industrial Ironbridge and the Welsh Marches

Led by Alvi Shaw
Report on the trip to Industrial Ironbridge and the Welsh Marches, 18th to 22nd May 2025
 
Powis Castle and Gardens
 
The Arts Society trip to the Welsh Marches began in Wales - with a visit to Powis Castle and Gardens, a spectacular National Trust property with a “border “ history and superb terraced gardens descending hundreds of feet from its commanding heights.
 
 
The tour continued to include the towns of Ludlow, Shrewsbury and their architectural gems , as well as the museums of Ironbridge. 
 
 
The group photograph was taken at Hellens, a small and eccentric century’s old family home . It is (obviously) haunted . The tea lady when asked, described her own encounter!
 
This was Alvi Shaw's swan-song and of course her very many years of experience ensured perfection in everything , even the weather!
