Leaton railway station was a minor station located about six miles north of Shrewsbury on the GWR's Paddington to Birkenhead main line. Today this is part of the Shrewsbury to Chester line.

The churchyard contains the war graves of a King's Shropshire Light Infantry soldier of World War I and a RAF officer of World War II.The Shrewsbury to Chester Line runs through, though the nearest railway station is at Shrewsbury, as the former Leaton railway station closed to passengers in 1960. The signal box went in 1988, but today there remains a level crossing. A small industrial estate now exists at the former railway sidings. There once existed the Leaton Brick and Pipe Works, one of a number of clay-based industries in the area.

The Shropshire County Show, formerly and to now often called the West Mid Show (short for Shropshire and West Midlands Show), is an annual agricultural show held on the outskirts of Shrewsbury (at Coton Hill), England, established in 1875. It has its own showground - the Shropshire Agricultural Showground, which lies on the north bank of the River Severn in a rural setting (though it is less than a mile from Shrewsbury town centre). The showground is accessed via Berwick Road, the B5067. The show is held usually in May and has attracted as many as 40,000 people, from across the region. On 7 November 2009 the Shropshire and West Midlands Agricultural Society, which ran the show, ran into financial difficulties, all staff were made redundant with immediate effect. In early 2010 a Company Voluntary Agreement was negotiated. By the end of 2014 the debts had been reduced by two thirds and the trustees were therefore able to start investing in the infrastructure of the showground. With the support of newly appointed sponsors Greenhous, a local car dealership and servicing company, there is a renewed confidence that the showground will continue. The society is now run by trustees with a recently appointed full-time Showground Director.Aside from the highly successful show in 2012, there are events at the Showground on most weekends, including a new separate Horse Show, The mid-Shropshire Vintage Club Show, November Bonfire, and The Shrewsbury Folk Festival. There are also regular, well-attended car boot sales that are held on Sunday mornings.The showground is also used for camping. It is the nearest camp site to the middle of Shrewsbury. There were cancellations from 1915 to 1918 (during World War I), 1940 to 1945 (during World War II) and 2020 (during the COVID-19 pandemic).

Old River Bed, Shrewsbury is a Site of Special Scientific Interest located two miles north of Shrewsbury town centre, to the east of the A528 in Shropshire, England. It is currently owned and managed by Shrewsbury Town Council. The site is designated as a SSSI as it forms part of the former bed of the River Severn, which has been cut off from the main course of the river since the last glaciation. The Old River Bed is of particular value for the extensive sedge fen which now fills this cut-off meander of the River Severn. Although differing in its mode of origin, the Old River Bed is complementary to other wetland sites in North Shropshire. Wetland plant species found at the Old River Bed include: Lesser pond-sedge - Carex acutiformis Common reed - Phragmites australis Great reedmace - Typha latifolia Water horsetail - Equisetum fluviatile Meadowsweet - Filipendula ulmaria Soft rush - Juncus effusus Sharp-flowered rush - J. acutiflorus Water avens - Geum rivale Bottle sedge - Carex rostrata Brown sedge - C. disticha Marsh cinquefoil - Potentilla palustris
