EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, Church Stretton EAW017336, taken by Aerofilms Ltd in July 1948, offers a breathtaking view of Church Stretton nestled among the rolling hills and moorland of Shropshire, England. The Long Mynd, a prominent feature in the landscape, dominates the image with its expansive, undulating heathland. The town, with its red-roofed buildings and winding roads, is situated at the foot of the hill, surrounded by lush green fields and wooded areas. The Long Mynd, a popular destination for walkers and hikers, is a prominent feature of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its unique geology, formed from carboniferous limestone, creates a diverse and fascinating landscape, with areas of heather moorland, blanket bog, and rare limestone pavement. The hill's highest point, known as the Stiperstones, can be seen in the distance, marking the southern edge of the Long Mynd. Church Stretton, a historic market town, is located at the eastern end of the Long Mynd. The town's name derives from its proximity to the ancient parish church of St. Laurence. Church Stretton has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Iron Age. The town's growth was largely driven by the wool trade, and its strategic location on the Shropshire Way, a major trading route, made it an important center for commerce. This photograph provides a unique perspective of Church Stretton and the Long Mynd, showcasing the town's picturesque setting and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history and character of this charming Shropshire town.
