  • Families & Ferries at Potter's Loade
    Lives in the Landscape Families & Ferries at Potter’s Loade For hundreds of years in rural areas, ferries were invaluable for transporting people, goods, and even livestock between riverbanks. By the 1920’s there were 28 ferries shown on Ordnance Survey maps across the length of the River Severn—including the Potter’s Loade ferry. Records show that a ferry at Potter’s Loade was mentioned as early as 1690 when ‘….the passage over the river…with the boate there belonging at Potters Load’ was included in the lease to nearby Hall Close Farm. It is also mentioned in an advert in the Shrewsbury Chronicle on 16th August 1777 where Rhea Hall in Highley was to be auctioned and the lot included ‘right of free passage over the River Severn at Potter’s Load…..’ Right: Photograph of ‘Lease of possession of the scite of the manor at Alveley’ 4 April,1690 There are a number of mentions of the ferry (and cottage) at Potter’s Loade in the newspaper as over the years it was advertised as ‘TO LET’. These articles have been researched on the British Newspapers Archive website. On 18 September 1851 in Worcester Journal a house, garden, new boat and ferry over the Severn at Potter’s Loade is advertised with applications to J. Bacon. For 3 weeks, in 1864 (20 February- 5 March), a house, garden with ferry over the Severn are advertised with enquires to Mr Fellows. Finally, in 1901 (16th February) there is an advert in the Wellington Journal for a boatman to take charge of Potter’s Loade ferry with applications to H.E.

The letter states This balance is managed by the Environment Agency that regulation releases may be required from Llyn in liaison with water users, to ensure that the river Clywedog in the next fortnight. and the estuary are protected from damage resulting from low flows. Supporting the river Controlling the flow Increased flow monitoring takes place during a Regulation Alert. Actual and proposed water use information from the The Act of Parliament which allowed the creation of water companies and other major users, such as Ironbridge LJyn Clywedog also set down a minimum flow to be Power Station, is analysed. This data is used to forecast maintained at a control point at Bewdley in the middle when flows are likely to fall below the 850 Ml/d minimum reaches of the River Severn. The minimum flow was originally flow at Bewdley. The forecasts are based on current trends, defined as 720 million litres a day (Ml/d) to ensure dilution of historic flow patterns, predicted abstractions and weather waste water discharges from the Black Country and to allow forecasts. When it appears likely that the minimum flow for abstractions and environmental needs downstream.

  • Thomas Brassey and His Link to Heritage Railways No 2 the Severn
    Thomas Brassey and his link to Heritage Railways No 2 The Severn Valley Railway The Severn Valley Railway is a preserved line operating between Kidderminster in Worcestershire and Bridgnorth in Shropshire, a distance of 16 miles. The line was originally built by Thomas Brassey under a contract for the Severn Valley Railway Company and linked Hartlebury near Droitwich Spa with Shrewsbury, a distance of some 40 miles. The preserved railway now operates on part of this line and includes the link between Bewdley and Kidderminster built by others for the Great Western Railway in 1878. Work started in 1858 and included stations at Stourport-on-Severn, Bewdley, Highley, Hampton Loade, Bridgnorth, Coalport, Iron Bridge, and Buildwas amongst others. The line also included the Victoria Bridge over the River Severn near Arley and the 559 yard tunnel north of Bridgnorth. The line was opened in 1862 and absorbed into the Great Western Railway in 1863. The Severn Valley line was closed to both passenger and through freight services in 1963. The restoration of the line started with the formation of the Severn Valley Railway Society in 1965. Initially the 5 1/2 mile section of line from Bridgnorth, south through Hampton Loade, to Alveley Colliery sidings near Highley was acquired and in 1970 train services between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade were started. In 1973 the 9 mile section from Alveley Colliery sidings through Highley, Arley and Bewdley to Foley Park was purchased and progressively opened during 1974. The final section between Foley Park and Kidderminster opened in 1984. The photograph below from September 2014 shows a scene at Bewdley, once a busy junction.

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.
