Another lovely design of box still wearings its wooden nameboard

is Marsh Brook just south of Church Stretton. It also dates from 1872, like Dorrington, and appears to be an identical LNR/GW joint Type 1 design. It is probably the best of the remaining few boxes of this type and design and is also one of the oldest still in use today. When I visited in 1981, I noted that the gates were mechanically operated. In 1986 I also visited and was permitted access to the box. It is also worth noting that whilst the box is referred to as Marsh Brook, the village in which it is situated is Marshbrook.
