Catalogue of Mines THE COALBROOKDALE COALFIELD CATALOGUE OF MINES by IVOR J. BROWN Price 5/- Cover Picture MODERN PITHEAD GEAR AT MADELEY WOOD MINE, TYPICAL OF TODAY’S EQUIPMENT. Reproduced by kind permission of “Shropshire Magazine.” THE COALBROOKDALE COALFIELD CATALOGUE OF MINES AND MINING BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by IVOR J. BROWN, Min. Dip., C.Eng., A.M.l.Min.E., A.M.I.Q., LECTURER IN MINING, DONCASTER TECHNICAL COLLEGE. SHROPSHIRE COUNTY LIBRARY 1968 PRINTED BY ADVERTISER PRINTING WORKS, NEWPORT, SHROPSHIRE CONTENTS Page PREFACE PART I Catalogue of mines Broseley area Oakengates area 11 Madeley area 14 Dawley area 15 Lawley area 18 PART II Mining bibliography 21 PART III List of preserved mining antiquities 28 FOREWORD Compared with the nineteenth century, little is published nowadays on the history of Shropshire. There is as great an interest—possibly a greater one—in matters concerning the past, but not many people can find the time to record the knowledge they have gathered. It gives me great pleasure, therefore, to sponsor this pamphlet on an aspect of Shropshire’s industrial history, which sets out information not readily available in print. If it is well received, the County Library Sub-Committee may be encouraged to publish work of a similar nature as opportunity arises. C. F. CORDINGLEY Chairman, Shropshire County Library Sub-Committee PREFACE This catalogue contains the names, situation, minerals worked and approximate dates of working, where known, of nearly 550 mines in the Coalbrookdale Coalfield. The list is by no means complete but includes only those mines of which the compiler has some information. It is quite possible that a complete list would have twice or even three times the number of mines given. National Grid references have not been added. The compiler has references for many of the mines but the task of putting a reference to each entry could be carried out more easily by some local group, school or club. The mines are given under the following geographical areas, Broseley, Oakengates, Madeley, Dawley and Lawley. Names of collieries (or groups of. pits under one ownership) are in italics. Occasionally one of the pits included in a group is duplicated elsewhere. This is because the pit has been worked as an individual unit for a number of years usually after the group was abandoned. Altemative names are given in brackets following the common name and the name of the parish in which the mine is situated is given where there might otherwise be confusion in identification. The minerals worked are indicated by the following:— C —— coal, Fe — ironstone, P —— pyrites, F —— fireclay R — red, tile or brick clay, L — limestone. All dates are inclusive and nearly all have been obtained from the official documents (Part II Nos. 62—64, 66—67). Numbers given after the dates refer to the Bibliography, Part II. The compiler will be pleased to assist, on request, students or others studying the various mines. Obviously, the list gives only a bare out- line of the detail available.

  • Reason for Closure
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Oakengates branch is closing on Friday 17 April 2020 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Oakengates branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 85% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 27% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 70% of this branch's customers have been using neighbouring branches. • We've identified that only 105 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Adrian Davies, your Market Director for Local West.

The Parish Plan is an important document as it states the views of the residents of Withington Parish and its future direction. It also feeds directly into the Shrewsbury Area Place Plan, which is used by Shropshire Council Departments when reviewing requirements for such projects as road improvement, housing and commercial planning, water and sewerage. This updated plan was produced by analysing answers to the questionnaire distributed to each household in March 2013. Of the 91 questionnaires distributed, 59 were completed and returned. The Shropshire Rural Community Council (RCC) carried out an independent analysis of the results using computer software specifically designed for this purpose. The Parish Plan is also published on the Withington website www.withingtonshropshire.co.uk 3 Withington 2008 Parish Plan: Review of progress Progress was determined by asking Parishioners to indicate their level of satisfaction as to whether the 8 objectives contained in the 2008 Parish Plan had been achieved (see table below) OBJECTIVE ACHIEVEMENTS HOUSING AND Oppose any further housing or commer- • All housing/commercial development applications have COMMERCIAL cial development.

  • YEAR 6: the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (6 Lessons)
    YEAR 6: THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (6 lessons) Contents Include: Cotton Production The Steam Engine Iron and Coal Canals Trains Suggested Teacher Resources: The Young Oxford History of Britain & Ireland, pages 286-320. Great Tales from English History by Robert Lacey, pages 327-378. The BBC website has some articles on the period, and clips from a recent documentary about the industrial revolution and a documentary about trains. This topic lends itself well to local history, eg. canals and Victorian train stations. Lesson 1. Introduction to the Industrial Revolution The key point for pupils to understand about the Industrial Revolution is that it had a transformative effect on the world. Through harnessing fossil fuels to power engines, factories and machines, the Industrial Revolution fundamentally changed the way that human beings live. This single innovation gave birth to the modern world. It is a topic of particular interest to Britain, as it was in Britain that the key inventions of the industrial revolution were first created: the cotton mill, the steam engine, and the train. This lesson should introduce pupils to a broad overview of industrialisation, and some key concepts. See pages 128 of What Your Year 6 Child Needs to Know.
