Alveley
Alveley is a very cheerful village with a lot of country side and lots of houses. It's very quiet and very few cars come by. The road I live down is very silent, no cars around at all, peace and quiet . It's a little village with quite a lot of roads.......The Bridgnorth leisure Centre has a lot of sports facilities; they have four squash courts and a balcony so you can watch them play squash. .Also inside there is a tremendous swimming pool......
In Bridgnorth (Bridgnorth is in Shropshire which is close to the Welsh border.) we have a funicular railway, (that is a Railway that only goes up and down a hill, with two carriages ).To use it you have to buy a ticket ( from one of the offices either at the top or bottom of the track ).Then you go in to a carriage and soon it should start to move creakily up or down the hill .About halfway through your picturesque travel you should pass the other carriage going the opposite way. When you get to the top, there is a thud and the carriage shakes to a stop. There are two ways I know of powering a funicular railway: 1 electricity and 2 water. Ours is powered by electricity but I have heard that it used to be powered by water. Our one is painted in bright Yellow and jet black (which I think are excellent colours). All in all I think the Railway is purely useful and can be fun ....
St. Mary's Church
St Marys Church at one end of Bridgnorth Hightown and St Leonard's is at the other end. It is in the West Midlands. The biggest town near Bridgnorth is Birmingham Which is North to North East of us. St Marys Church has a green roof on the top of a circular building like a torrent, which is on the front of the building. On the front of the building there is a clock. At the bottom of the building there is an enormous door which takes you into a type of porch. At the sides of the building there a few columns. The columns go up to the roof of the building in a circular shape. It is an old but in quite good condition. The bricks are a greyish colour and some have a horrid green moss on them. Around the back of the church there is some moss growing up the walls. It is in a good position for you to see low town. It is surrounded by a very small graveyard.It has massive windows which are a rectangle shape with a curve at the top. It has about five windows on each side. On the inside when you walk in you come to an aisle with a lot of benches on each side. It is very echoey inside. At the end is a stain glass window of Jesus and Mary. It has a round ceiling at the end with stars on. It has a Grand Piano which is brown in colour. It also has Organs and the top of them are in a glass Cabinet.The Church.
Small, grey squirrels hop about collecting nuts for their winter hibernation, running away when anyone approaches them. The brightly coloured stain-glass windows reflect onto the chestnut brown, leather seats in the echoey church, making them light up with wonderful colours. Outside, the sun shines on the bristly fir trees. The droopy, weeping willow hangs down like a frozen water fountain stuck in the exact same position. The smell of freshly cut grass stands out like the smell of sweet sunflowers. Inside the warmth of the churches is comforting from the cold wind out on the church green. The sound of people is muffled by the roar or car engines as they pass by on the nearby road. The faint sound of munching squirrels can just by heard above the sounds of the town. The rough bark from the fir tree peals off easily and falls softly to the sheet of neatly cut grass. The church is in the centre of Much Wenlock, which is in the West Midlands, South West of Birmingham.The Church
I have chosen to describe the church because it has got a lot of detail, It's is a very old building and big inside.
When you touched it, it very rough but some parts are very smooth. It's a bit cold inside. There sometimes a lot of people in there. It and very politis very quite in there because sometimes you have to, but queit nice. When the bells ring there're very loud but nice. I sometimes go in the church and the people how look after it they occasionally show us around and the people are very polite. On the outside there are grave stones and it gives me the creeps.Saint Mary's Church!
Saint Mary's Church is made of grey stone with yellow patches. It has a gigantic cylinder shape going up it. On the top of that it has green glass covering the top of the cylinder. About 7/8 of the way down the cylinder is a circular black clock with gold numbers and minute and hour hands. At the front of the historic church there is a big, old, white wooden door which is split into two wooden doors. From the side view of the church there is a oblong shape joined on to it with a curved roof. Underneath the roof there are huge windows with ancient white painted wood going down and across the windows. Down the cylinder there is a column of stone going down each side of the circular clock. Surrounding the marvellous church is a minute graveyard with brown, wooden benches around it. It also has a bricked wall which is all different shades of brown round the side of it. There are also a few grey steps to enter the graveyard. You would find this fabulous looking church in low town at Bridgnorth in Shropshire, near Wales.The Surroundings of the Green
I am describing a large are that is in Highley which is to the north-east of Birmingham.A plain coloured area filled with fun. A variety of girls and boys playing a interesting match of football, tig and having loads of fun. A deserted island full of kids having a laugh , cars swirling and wirling around in all kinds of different directions floating around like a gigantic river. Adults looking out of there windows checking up on their children and making sure they are OK. The brightly coloured shops make the village resplendent. Lots of flower baskets hanging up put a smile on everyone's faces.
I live in Highley it is a little village,which is near Bridgnorth and the country is in England. There are lots of sports facilities going on in the village of Highley. We have got a brilliant swimming pool which the miners built to stop the people from drowning in the River Seven, so they thought it would be delightful to teach the children how to swim safely.....
I live in Highley, South Shropshire,near Wales. It's a little village with plenty of good and exiting things to do. for instance, you could go and watch the variety of trains down at Highley railway station. Or there is the country park, which is filled with plenty of extraordinary things to do. Or you could take a gentle stroll upstream to pebble beach. Or you could just enjoy one of the pleasurable picnic sites. But above the station and picnic sites there is a wheel. It is a light grey and is held up by four slate stands that are magnificently coloured. Many people stupidly climb it. It is a symbol of remembrance. But the wheel is on top of a steep hill and can be seen from extremely far away. Under it is a light, Witch when is on it can be seen from an extreme distance. It is an extraordinary sight, as it blocks out the gloomy dark and the wheel shines on as beautiful as ever shimmering above the mystical and the dismal, everlasting darkness. With the wintry freezing feeling in your veins and arteries, observing and silently listening to the everlasting and etunal whistle and rustle of the eerie trees from the tiniest spurt of a juvenile tree right up to the huge and colossal sight of an impressive ancient tree. This in the freezing wind is a magnificent and beautiful sight and it will stay in the memory of you. It will be an everlasting memory.
My House
Telford is where I live. This is near Shrewsbury in Shropshire. It is in England. My house is near a tremendous fishing lake in Telford. It is called Holmer Lake so is my street as well. I also go fishing at the Holmer Lake, with my brother.It has a harbour, there are various different trees and wildlife. In the summer many visitors come for picnics on the benches and feed the swans and ducks.My home area.
My home area is a diminutive village in a valley in the country. The actual place that I live in is called Monkhopton in Shropshire inbetween Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock. We don't have any Shops or Pubs but we do have loads of fields, a church, a brook, The Old School and The Old School House. All you can see is the green fields and the ploughed fields and the few houses of the village. You can see some farms near some woods. In the farms fields you can see some sheep , some cows and some horses. The woods are on top of a hill. The woods are in the shape of S.I.T, they are a metalic green and a lime green mixed together with The leaves crackle as you walk over them in the woods. You can see the Old School and the Old School House. The village is split into two halves the main village and the cross roads. A few cars come through on the main road and there are some dogs in the village. The birds sing in my back garden and in the woods. Peace and quiet is all around this village.
As the cars go by the sound breaks the peacefulness and the tractors ploughing in the fields turns The cows are calling blaringly and the dogs are barking courageously. The only thing to do in the country is walk your dog , swim in the brook and sledge down the hills in the snow or, You could go to the nearest town to go to the leisure centre. The smell of manure comes when you pass a farm or a field that has already been sprayed with it.
Other times you can smell real fresh air and the smell of flowers in full bloom.
My new Attic.
We live in Bridgnorth which is a town near Birmingham in Shropshire just next to Wales. This piece of writing is about my new attic that is being converted in to a bed room. The smell of fresh wood fills the air as you walk through the lately fitted pine door. The pungent colour of plaster is covering the walls. From the window you can look at the town, both churches and our school playing fields. There is the stale feeling of the newly laid plaster. The dust feels like chalk. You can hear the cars driving up and down the road and you can hear the trees blustering in the wind. You can hear earsplitting music from next door. You can also hear them arguing. The smell of varnish on the floor is nauseating. When you leave the room you hear a tremendous bang as the door slams shut behind you!
