Alberbury is a village in Shropshire, England, located west of Shrewsbury on the B4393 road which travels from Ford, Shropshire to Lake Vyrnwy. It lies adjacent to the England-Wales border, which is marked by Prince's Oak. The River Severn runs just north of the village, and most of the village is within a designated conservation area.〔(Information on the village from Shrewsbury Borough Council )〕 Alberbury Castle is at the centre of the village as is Loton Hall and the attached deer park.〔(Detailed information on the castle )〕 Alberbury is home to Loton Park, with the Loton Park Hill Climb run by the Hagley and District Light Car Club. The village has a cricket club located at a local farm. As part of the development of Central Ammunition Depot Nesscliffe by the War Office/Ministry of Defence during World War II, a fifth ammunition depot was developed beneath Loton Park. This was used for storage of both Incendiary ammunition and chemical weapons shells from 1943. It was one of two CW depots operated in co-operation with and guarded by the United States Army Air Forces, the second being in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. Today there is newly built village hall, which hosts meetings of the Women's Institute and the Young Farmers' Club. During Christmas 2008, the village made regional news due to a spectacular Christmas lights display put on at a local farm.〔(BBC report on the Christmas lights )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
