Off to Shrewsbury for tomorrows D1015 tour, can anyone suggest a couple of 
good lineside locations for me please.I don't really want to got on the 
station so am after an alternate location.There appears on Multimap to be a 
couple of overbridges between Uffington and Upton Magna alongside the A5 
near the A49 junction.Does anyone know if these are any good or suggest a 
better location

TIA

I think the preferred location east of Shrewsbury is usually Walcot...

....with the sugar factory at Allscott in the background.

You can do it a bit wider than this shot I believe, but I can't find 
another online version right now.

The spots south of Shrewsbury may be better (and busier) - especially if 
the sun appears. Have a look at the Bayston Hill and Dorrington shots 
here...
