The effigy of Sir Job Charlton at St Giles, Ludford. Sir Job was a judge, hence the red robes. He was also, for a short time, the Speaker of the House of Commons. He was removed from his post of Chief Justice for Chester to make room for Judge Jeffries.

Built on the site of "The Trouser Factory", where a lot of Rohan clothing used to be made by Walters. Like most of Ludlow's industry the factory is long gone. This view from Friar's Walk would have looked up a grassy bank towards the factory canteen.

In 1972 St Lawrence's C of E Primary School closed. It merged with the former British School on Old Street and Ludlow had just one primary school. This is the site of the shared sports field of the two schools. The pitch was not developed for housing and in recent years the Church has reopened its school in Ludlow and after a few lost decades the school is back, about the same size as before the merger and is now situated just down Friar's Walk from its 1959-72 site in Galdeford.

Path, once notorious for vast quantities of dog waste, running along the town walls. It links Lower Galdeford and Old Street, a large area without a through street.

Nursery sited in two rooms that once housed two younger classes at St Lawrence's C of E primary in Ludlow. The school joined with the town's other primary in 1972 and for a while Ludlow had just the one primary school. Since then, St Lawrence's has reopened nearby and I am no longer one of the youngest former pupils. The walkway accessed a room used by what would now be called Year 3.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A community centre run by the Diocese of Hereford. It occupies an extended building which previously housed schools, the last of which, St Lawrence's Primary School, left the site to combine with the other primary school on a new site at Clee View in 1972. St Lawrence's School has now been reborn on a new site on the former playing fields nearby.
