The Surgeon's Memorial
Another evening in Audlem after a day pottering up and down the Shropshire Union Canal. This, on the right, is a memorial to a local surgeon - Richard Baker Bellyse - who died in 1877. The slogan on the memorial says:
By medicine life may be prolonged
Yet death will seize the doctor too
I had better have another pint to absorb that cheery thought
