  • Crida Wind Proposal: the Facts
    Crida Wind Proposal: The Facts A wind farm called Crida (no such place exists) has been put forward in a proposal to Shropshire Council by developers - Sharenergy in Ludlow, Sustainable Bridgnorth and backed by Natural Power in Wales - to put up two towering industrial wind turbines at Meadowley on the historic Jack Mytton Way. According to the Sunday Times, local property prices will be affected by 40% when an unspoilt area such as around Bridgnorth is turned by developers into a 'wind turbine landscape'. Each will be one and a half times the height of Nelson’s column and will completely dominate the ancient natural landscape around the west of Bridgnorth – the gateway to Shropshire. The Jack Mytton Way will become despoiled and potentially dangerous for inexperienced riders as horses may be startled by the sudden starting of Golaith rotor blades and the noise of the wind turbines. The countryside will be degraded, with the west Bridgnorth Hills becoming a target for land-grabbing developers as Bridgnorth becomes a potential wind turbine landscape and a ‘hot--spot’ for developers. Equestrian tourism in the area will be badly harmed with Triffid-like industrial turbines blighting Shropshire's 'flagship' tourist trail for thousands of riders, walkers and cyclists. Shropshire Council describes the trail as giving visitors and locals the chance to discover the 'secret treasures' of the county's 'unspoilt countryside'. The turbines will desecrate the local historic countryside in the west Bridgnorth Hills, with views, noise, and potential health problems seriously affecting the villages of Morville, Chetton, Underton, Meadowley, Upton Cressett, Morville Heath, Tasley, The Lye, Aston Eyre.

The RA Friends’ tours often visit stately homes to view their magnificent state rooms and painting collections, and then sadly have to leave. However on this tour, Friends will actually be staying and dining in a beautiful stately home, Weston Park, surrounded by a remarkable collection of paintings, furniture, ceramics and tapestries. “You will find Weston beautiful. I marvel whether I shall ever see the like again! It is a place that always pleased me.” – Benjamin Disraeli, 8th June 1878 Photos © Trustees of the Weston Park Foundation Our first-class accommodation will be in the 28 individually decorated and designed bedrooms at Monday 23 October 2017 Weston Park, which include all the amenities you would expect of a luxury hotel, but which also contain 12.45pm family heirlooms from Weston Park’s original owners, antique furniture and period design features, that you wouldn’t.

  • 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.
