| | | | | Central Trains: Encyclopedia II - Shrewsbury - Major Routes The A5 connects the town east towards Telford and northwest to Oswestry. The A5 once ran through the town centre, until a bypass was built in the 1930s. The A5/A49 seventeen-mile £79m dual-carriageway Telford-Shrewsbury Bypass was built further out of the town, opening in August 1992, and the A5 is now taken via this route. It runs to the south of the town. The A49 south from Ludlow and Leominster now meets up with the new A5 north of Bayston Hill (3 miles south of the town centre) and merges with it for 3 miles before separating again to t ...

| | | | | | Central Trains: Encyclopedia II - Rail transport in Great Britain - Leasing services A proportion of the rolling stock of British Rail was sold off to companies that lease or hire stock to passenger and freight operators, as well as to National Rail and railway maintenance companies.

Peterborough - Cathedral.
Peterborough Cathedral is one of the most notable mediaeval cathedrals in the United Kingdom. The philosopher Richard Cumberland (1631–1718) became bishop of Peterborough in 1691.
One curious fact about Peterborough is that there is a church (St. John's) just outside the Cathedral in Cathedral Square. Why was a church built right next the cathedral? The reason for this is that at some poi ...
