Sundorne

One of Shrewsbury's two TA centres (the other (extant) being in Copthorne) was in Sundorne, until it closed. The land was sold and the centre building was being demolished in 2015, on its site has been built a care home, Montgomery House. The new Army Reserve Centre is located on the grounds of Shrewsbury Academy. ==Canal and river==

The now disused Shrewsbury and Newport Canal runs through woodland in the southern part of the area. The River Severn forms the southern boundary of Sundorne. ==Education==

The main secondary school in Sundorne was for many years called "Harlescott" school. It was then renamed Sundorne School to be more in keeping with the name of the ward (and less in keeping with the name of the Harlescott ward further to the northwest in Shrewsbury). Sundorne School stood next to Sundorne County Infants School, which has always used Sundorne in its nomenclature. Sundorne School combined with Grange School in September 2016 under the title Shrewsbury Academy. There still remains, however, Harlescott County Junior School on Featherbed Lane, the north-eastern boundary of the Sundorne ward. Many residents, especially those born before about 1985, in fact still use "Harlescott" to include Sundorne: the numerous car dealerships on Featherbed Lane carry advertisements with the address "Featherbed Lane, Harlescott", while the two churches on Meadow Farm Drive - the Church of England Holy Spirit Church and Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Pity - also have "Harlescott" in their titles. ==Sport==

Sundorne is represented in sport by the local Sunday League football club AFC Sundorne, members of the Shropshire County Minor League. Other football teams play at the Sports Village, including Haughmond (named after the nearby hill) who play in the Midland Football League. The Perkins social club is also located in Sundorne, which is home of Perkins CCC, a local cricket side. ==Public transport==

Different areas of the suburb are served by various bus routes, all of which are operated by Arriva Midland North. The 24 route runs between the Tesco store in Harlescott and Shrewsbury bus station via Shrewsbury railway station. The 519 and 524 services run between Shrewsbury bus station and Newport. ==Sundorne Castle==

Nearby are the remains of the stately home known as Sundorne Castle, at onetime a seat of the Corbet-Pigott family. ==See also==
