SO4480 : River Onny
taken 13 years ago, near to Onibury, Shropshire, England
The River Onny has its sources in the Shropshire Hills at White Grit. It has two branches, the East Onny and West Onny, which converge at Eaton. The River Onny then flows in a South-easterly direction, through Craven Arms and Onibury, before it finally has its confluence with the River Teme just upstream of Ludlow at Bromfield.
The Welsh Marches line runs between Shrewsbury (where it connects with lines to Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales) and Newport (where it connects with the South Wales line). It allows direct trains to run between North and South Wales. The line was constructed in the 1850s by two railway companies, both heading for Hereford. Trains regularly run between Manchester and South Wales.
