Ellesmere
Ellesmere is a market town near Oswestry in north Shropshire, England, significant for its closeness to a variety of popular Meres. The town is found alongside Ellesmere (aka 'the Mere'), one of the largest natural meres in England outside the Lake District as well as one of 9 glacial meres in the location. ('antarctic' indicates that the anxiety occupied by the simple was the place of a block of ice that persisted at the end of the last Ice Age). These meres are various from those in the Lake District in that they do not have a circulation of water into them to maintain the level. A synthetic island in the Mere was constructed in 1812 from dirt removed throughout the production of the yards at Ellesmere House. This was later on called Moscow Island, as Napoleon was required to retreat from Moscow that year. The Mere has a visitors' centre and is prominent with birdwatchers, a number of whom see to see grey herons nesting. There are 8 various other meres nearby: Blakemere, Colemere, Crosemere, Kettlemere, Newtonmere, Whitemere, Sweatmere and Hanmer Mere. The civil parish which comprises the community is Ellesmere Urban; the surrounding church, covering a huge backwoods, is Ellesmere Rural.
