Sundorne Farm

Note. I have serious misgivings regarding this map. However, given present day information, it does appear that this is the location for Sundorne Farm. I will much appreciate somebody confirmimg that this is correct, or providing a more exact location.

SUNDORNE FARM: Temporary aerodrome

Operated by: Alan Cobham’s 1933 No.2 Tour of the UK

Location: In or near Shrewsbury, probably NW of the town centre?

Period of operation: 8th June 1933

Had to Google this and found it for sale on a web site - also I could not find it on the old Ordnance Survey maps - had to go the 1950s series before I found it marked. Position - 52 52 14"N 002 39 47W - some 2.8 miles to the NE of Wem. Bit out in the sticks.

Sundorne Grove Farm is now part of an estate on the northern outskirts of Shrewsbury. On google maps the Farm house is situated on a cul de sac named Goldcrest Drive, Post Code SY1 4TP. The more likely spot for a temporary aerodrome would have been at Sundorne Castle a large country house run by the Corbett family, since demolished, situated East of Sundorne Grove close to the village of Uffington.
