Criggion. The photo shows St Michael & All Angel's Church and what is probably the modified railway station for the Shropshire Railway - Breidden Branch - which was shown as disused on the 1902 OS 6" Ordnance Survey Map.

Attached photo shows this farm - Severn House - and the one further down the road - Middle Farm - plus the two main buildings for the Radio Station.

Criggion Radio Station - http://www.oswestry-history.co.uk/criggion-radio-station.html - thanks to S.F. Brown. MBE. C.Eng. MIEE. Set up as a back up to Rugby during the war in the shadow of Breiden Hill. The quarry can be seen in the background. Also flood damage to the Radio site - one of the pyloms has lost its battle with the Severn.
