As the weather forecast for today was rain we decided to catch the bus into Oswestry. First we came across the railway station.
We had lunch here in The George.
The Castle Mound.
The outdoor market as seen from the Castle Mound. The large truck in the outdoor market is Wayne Walker butchers, we bought 2 lamb joints and 10 lamb chops for £20, bargain.

A dry sunny start to the day and we set off for the short trip to Chirk.
Approaching Whitehouse tunnel.
We like the way that the tunnel information board states that the tunnel is two-way working. I don’t think so somehow"!
The moorings on the north side of the tunnel have just been refurbished, in fact they were still working on them when we came up last week.
But as can be seen they need dredging!
After lunch we walked up into Chirk.
In the churchyard was this mausoleum, the first time we have come across one.
This statue was inside the mausoleum.
Inside St. Mary’s church.
The church and its memorials are dominated by 2 families, the Trevors and the Myddletons.
