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.

  • Appendix a Environmental Baseline
    Appendix A Environmental Baseline . Introduction The data collected to characterise the baseline environment of Telford and Wrekin Borough has been derived from numerous secondary sources, which are referenced as footnotes in this report. No new investigations or surveys have been undertaken. In some instances, it has been noted that different secondary sources present conflicting information and it has not been possible to verify which sources are the most accurate. Where this has been identified, the limitations have been noted. It should be noted that there is an abundance of environmental information available. However, the information presented in this Appendix has been chosen on the basis that it may be influenced or affected by the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS). Steps have been taken to avoid including information which is of no clear relevance to the LFRMS. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. Population .. Population The topic of population is considered first in the baseline information, since the over-arching purpose of the LFRMS is to reduce flood risk to people and property. The LFRMS also seeks to increase public awareness of flooding and promote individual and community level flood resilience. A number of properties in the Telford and Wrekin Area are in areas at risk of flooding and were affected by flooding during the Summer 2007 floods. Some of the properties were affected by flooding from fluvial sources (streams, rivers) but many properties were affected from surface water flooding from sewers and drainsi.

  • Tern Valley Trail
    The ‘Discovering Wellington’ Project presents: The Tern Valley Trail A cycle trail linking the historic market town of Wellington to Thomas Telford’s lost canal country The Tern Valley Trail Between 1795 and 1796, Thomas Telford drove the Shrewsbury Canal through the lower Tern Valley near Wellington, rendering many changes to the local landscape that can still be viewed today. The year 2007 marks the 250th anniversary of the renowned Scottish civil engineer’s birth, so what better way to witness his impact in east Shropshire than to get out and see some of the changes he made first hand? Along the way you’ll uncover groundbreaking industrial heritage, medieval castle ruins, secret Second World War history and much more besides, so come with us now and discover the riparian wonders of Wellington Midsummer Fair, Market Square the Tern Valley. Wellington, then The Tern The Tern Valley Trail is a 14-mile, circular cycle route on quiet country roads, traffic-free paths and existing sections of the National Cycle Network. The trail begins and ends in the ancient market town of Wellington, the historic capital of east Shropshire. Wellington’s long and illustrious history stretches back to at least Anglo-Saxon times, while the town received its first market charter in 1244 and became a prosperous centre for industry and agriculture in the Victorian era. Today, the market is still at the centre of town life, while its comprehensive range of specialist shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs make Wellington Longdon Aqueduct an excellent place to start and end your adventure.

  • 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.

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.
