Highley is a long settlement which is spread over a mile on the B4555 along the River Severn to the west. Highley began as a rural farming community, including an entry in the Domesday Book as Hughli , named after the lord of the manor. Later the area became a significant area for stone quarrying, which provided some of the stone for Worcester Cathedral. Coal mining began in the area in the Middle Ages but the formation of the Highley Mining Company in 1874 saw the expansion of the village. The mine closed in 1969 and is now home to the Severn Valley Country Park.

  • Families & Ferries at Potter's Loade
    Lives in the Landscape Families & Ferries at Potter’s Loade For hundreds of years in rural areas, ferries were invaluable for transporting people, goods, and even livestock between riverbanks. By the 1920’s there were 28 ferries shown on Ordnance Survey maps across the length of the River Severn—including the Potter’s Loade ferry. Records show that a ferry at Potter’s Loade was mentioned as early as 1690 when ‘….the passage over the river…with the boate there belonging at Potters Load’ was included in the lease to nearby Hall Close Farm. It is also mentioned in an advert in the Shrewsbury Chronicle on 16th August 1777 where Rhea Hall in Highley was to be auctioned and the lot included ‘right of free passage over the River Severn at Potter’s Load…..’ Right: Photograph of ‘Lease of possession of the scite of the manor at Alveley’ 4 April,1690 There are a number of mentions of the ferry (and cottage) at Potter’s Loade in the newspaper as over the years it was advertised as ‘TO LET’. These articles have been researched on the British Newspapers Archive website. On 18 September 1851 in Worcester Journal a house, garden, new boat and ferry over the Severn at Potter’s Loade is advertised with applications to J. Bacon. For 3 weeks, in 1864 (20 February- 5 March), a house, garden with ferry over the Severn are advertised with enquires to Mr Fellows. Finally, in 1901 (16th February) there is an advert in the Wellington Journal for a boatman to take charge of Potter’s Loade ferry with applications to H.E.

  • Open Letter to WSR PLC, WSRA and WSSRT
    We, the undersigned, call on the three principal boards of the West Somerset Railway (WSR), namely; the West Somerset Railway PLC (PLC), the West Somerset Railway Association (WSRA) and the West Somerset Steam Railway Trust (WSSRT) to come together urgently in the best interests of the communities that love and rely on the WSR. Many livelihoods and businesses are dependent on the WSR being run as a successful and responsible community asset. Recent negative actions have severely damaged the reputation of the railway at a time when public support and confidence is most needed to survive the significant challenges that COVID-19 presents the WSR. Communications from the PLC are often inappropriately confrontational and poorly written which make readers question the professionalism of the organisation and veracity of the message. At the heart of the WSR is a committed, skilled and passionate core of over 1000 volunteers who give their time to keep the railway running and contribute to the economy of West Somerset. These volunteers are proud to work for the railway, but many have been upset by the aggressive stance adopted which has most recently brought the railway into public conflict with a local MP and the Somerset and Dorset Railway Trust (S&DRT). In February, the S&DRT was given 12 months' notice by the PLC to leave Washford, which they have totally transformed from a derelict site over the past 45 years. This notice was issued just two years after signing a 50 year lease extension in good faith. The unedifying public accusations has angered many and has highlighted the lack of trust and cooperation between members of the railway family.
