  • Tucked Between Flat Midlands and Ru Walks of the Shropshire Way and Ordnance
    ., . SHRO Tucked between flat Midlands and ru walks of the Shropshire Way and Ordnance WORDS NICK HAWSSEY PHOTOGRAPHY BOB ATKINS hurch Stretton and the hills around it occupy some bizarre bubble of alternate space, floating ephemerally somewhere west of Shrewsbury. C This pocket paradise of underused paths and trails shouldn't be there; it's been sneaked in, between pancake-flat Midlands and Welsh gnarl, like a bit of late school homework. Arriving here feels like you've broken into another dimension, one where time stopped several hours ago and where the place names are a tongue-twisting mish­ mash of Old English, Welsh and something else entirely. I had never set foot in Shropshire before this feature. Now, I'd happily rank it among my favourite places to walk. Anywhere. And here's why... THE SHROPSHIRE WAY A few years ago, ex-Army officer and adoptive Shroppie lad Jim Stabler took a look at the Shropshire Way and found it wanting. It skirted some staggering beauty spots, as if paranoid of going too near them. It failed to link some of the best walking country that Shropshire has to offer. And it was full of stiles, tricky river crossings and other navigational tripwires. Jim resolved to do something about it. and with help from Shropshire County Council. he has. As walkers, we owe the man a pint, especially as he's done it in a couple of years and for a mere £160,000 - most of it coming from the European Union. His work has concentrated on the southern section, which is at the heart of Explorer 21Z This stretch takes in the big hitters of the trail.

  • How Family Farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB Are Adapting To
    How family farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB 1 are adapting to agricultural change Vicky Wooda and David Gibbonb a. Farming Community Officer, Shropshire Hills AONB, [email protected] b. Agricultural and Rural Livelihood Systems, UK [email protected] Keywords: family farms, uplands, agri-environmental schemes, diversification, sustainability Abstract Family farms in the Shropshire Hills are important as food producers, but are also vital in maintaining the special landscapes of this area, as well as contributing to the rural economy and to local community development. However, managing an upland family farm as an economically sustainable business and livelihood in today’s agricultural climate is challenging. Previous data collected for this area showed that: average incomes are low, succession is problematic for all as the average age of the farmers is almost 60, many farmers work very long hours without help in terms of time and labour and there is an overall sense of isolation from the local community by many. The paper presents a cross section of family farm case studies in the Shropshire Hills, examining how these farms have changed, or are planning to change, their mode of action in order to address the challenge of running an economically sustainable family farm. The paper looks at six farms, examining their uptake of agri-environmental schemes and any changes in farm management that such schemes may have prompted, examples of diversification such as eco- tourism, links with local markets and consumers, and farm long-term financial viability. The main conclusion from this study is that farmers adopt very different strategies and enterprises which are intended to make their livelihoods more sustainable, so there is clearly not one model that is successful in all circumstances.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
