" The traveller by the Severn Valley Railway can scarcely fail to noticehere, and at other points along the line, beds of sand and gravel atlevels above the highest points now reached by the river; wave-likesweeps of water-worn materials still higher up are no less conspicuous. In both these are found the _Turritella terebra_, and other shells ofmodern seas, identifying them with the period when a marine straitextended the whole distance from the Dee to the Bristol Channel. Thecutting near Coal...brookdale has yielded a rich harvest of these marineremains, sufficient satisfactorily to indicate the true position of thebeds, and to associate them with others of great interest elsewhere. Along one of the ancient estuaries of this recent sea, now the Vale ofShrewsbury, the Severn winds in curious curves, and almost meets incircles, imparting a pleasing aspect to the valley. On leaving Buildwas, Buildwas Park is passed on the left, and Leighton Hall and church areseen on the opposite side of the river; while on the left again areShineton, Shinewood, and Bannister's Coppice; the latter famous as thehiding-place of the Duke of Buckingham, when unable to cross the riverwith his army at its mouth.
