Before talking about Blists Hill, though, a couple of photos of the main attraction - the iconic iron bridge itself.
At Blists Hill there's a short section of the Shropshire Canal still in water. We walked along the towpath to the Hay Incline, of which more later.
On the approach to the place where we're staying, in Broseley, we came across a snake!
Unfortunately it was dead and seemed to have been run over. Grass snake? (I'll look at the book when I get home!)

slow worm
Thanks, nikver. A bit too slow for its own good, evidently.
Hi Halfie, yes thats a Slow Worm, a very slow worm now. The interesting thing about Slow worms is that they are not snakes at all, but legless lizards.
Regards
Paul
Sad about the slow worm, but the bridge is magnificent. It looks amazing still. I remember seeing it as a child.
