  • Strategic Site – Ironbridge Power Station
    Strategic Site – Ironbridge Power Station Location 1 Summary of Settlement Study Area and Location Introduction The former Ironbridge Power Station is a Strategic Site in the Shropshire Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020). The study area boundary as defined within this Green Infrastructure Strategy is 1km from the defined site limits. The study area partially overlaps Broseley (Key Centre) in the south east and is approximately 1.2km north east of the Much Wenlock (Key Centre) study area. Part of the area extends into Telford and Wrekin Local Authority Area. Assets within this area are considered, but no opportunities or recommendations have been identified in areas outside Shropshire. The former Ironbridge Power Station site is located on the banks of the River Severn, south of the village of Buildwas. It is a 140ha partly brownfield site including former Power Station infrastructure and redundant ancillary facilities including a social club, golf course, sports pitches and Grade 3 agricultural land. The power station ceased operation in 2015 and demolition of the site began in 2019, in preparation for redevelopment. This pro-forma should be reviewed alongside the pro-forma for Broseley to understand strategic linkages between the Ironbridge Strategic Site and the neighbouring settlement. Development Context Emerging proposals for the site involve a mixed-use development including around 1,000 dwellings, around 6 hectares of employment land and the provision of local services and facilities within a village centre.

  • Manuscript Details
    Manuscript Details Manuscript number YJHGE_2017_167_R7 Title ‘A dreadful phenomenon described and improved’: Reverend John Fletcher’s account of the Buildwas earthquake of 1773. Article type Full Length Article Abstract Earthquakes are of interest to geologists and physical geographers, yet rarely attract historical geographers’ attention. This paper uses contrasting representations of the Buildwas, Shropshire, ‘earthquake’ of 1773 to reconstruct the course of the event and its immediate aftermath. The contemporary mapping of the scene records the changes in the physical landscape, with the hillside slippage blocking the River Severn, a vital inland navigation route, forcing a new channel to be cut. This paper examines the role of Reverend John Fletcher, a prominent theologian and leading figure in the Methodist movement, who preached on the site immediately following the event drawing Biblical parallels from a providentialist perspective. However, Fletcher was the epitome of an eighteenth-century ‘clerical naturalist’ and his account provides equal attention to the moral and physical causes of the event, including numerous personal testimonies. Reviewing the evidence and its interpretation, this paper questions why contemporaries who debated the precise causes referred to it as an ‘earthquake’, or alternatively a landslip, contextualising their discussions in the wider intellectual movement of the Enlightenment and debates about the relationship between ‘science’ and ‘religion’. It shows how this local event was compared with other well documented earthquakes at London and Lisbon in 1750 and 1755 respectively, influencing how contemporaries understood what happened at Buildwas. Furthermore, our analysis indicates that it was not an ‘earthquake’, but rather a landslip following a period of prolonged precipitation combined with high river levels which probably undermined the slope.

  • Broseley in Shropshire 1600-1820
    INDUSTRIALISATION AND AN EARLY MODERN TOWN: BROSELEY IN SHROPSHIRE 1600-1820 by STEPHEN CHARLES HUDSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Culture College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This work is the first attempt to analyse, assess and evaluate the broad process of industrialisation in Broseley, Shropshire between 1600 and c.1820. The thesis is a study of historical processes of growth, development and, ultimately the beginning of decline of a small industrial urban settlement above the Severn Gorge on the southern margins of the east Shropshire coalfield. These historical processes, socio-economic in character, are shown to interact and produce an early industrial town, possessing certain characteristics, features and traditions, unusual if not unique in a settlement of this nature. A variety of source material – primary documentary, archaeological/field and secondary – is used to examine the origins and growth of three groups of industries - mining, iron and ceramics - and the social fabric and stratification that were both the cause and consequence of their development.

(2007). A Geological Trail through the landslides of Ironbridge Gorge. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society, 12, 39-52. The spectacular nature of the Gorge has led to many studies of the landslides at Ironbridge, the earliest written record being the sermon of John Fletcher concerning Buildwas (1773), followed by the 1853 account of Rookery Wood that disrupted construction of the Severn Valley Railway between Ironbridge and Bridgnorth. The 1952 Jackfield landslide was particularly important, leading to an international revolution in the understanding of clay behaviour. Slope instability continues, and remains a topic of concern as local people strive to mitigate the consequences of landsliding to their properties and usage of the land. However, other geomorphological processes are active within this steep-sided valley, producing a blanket cover of colluvium, added to which are anthropogenic deposits built up notably during the Industrial Revolution. These cover some landslide deposits; others are disrupted by more recent landslide events, evidence of the on-going slope instability of the Gorge. 1Cressage, UK.

Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society, 13, 86–91. An ‘arctic’ landscape has been unveiled in North Shropshire by geologists, making it an ideal area in which to demonstrate the role of Ice Ages in the origin of our landscape. The classification of glacial deposits on published geological maps is shown to have both helped and hindered subsequent research. Boreholes for mineral assessment, construction and groundwater studies have enlarged a picture once restricted to exposures in gravel pits and small river, road or rail cuts. Progress has been made by appreciating that glacial deposits are three dimensional systems produced in varied depositional environments. Patterns in the hidden surface of the bedrock are also revealed, as is the impact on local river systems. These aspects are discussed in relation to the evolution of theories concerning glacial lakes. 1Bicton, Shropshire, UK.
