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.

For Victorian and later writers the Watt steam engine became synonymous with industrial growth and progress in Britain. Today Muirhead’s biographies remain the major source for scholars of James Watt, his life and achievements. Muirhead was born in Lanarkshire in 1813 the son of Lockhart Muirhead who was principle librarian and regius professor of natural history in Glasgow University. His maternal grandmother was the first cousin of James Watt. Muirhead was educated in Glasgow College and later Balliol College, Oxford, practising law in Edinburgh for eight years before moving to Haseley Court in Oxfordshire. In 1844 Muirhead married Katharine Elizabeth, daughter of Matthew Robinson Boulton and granddaughter of Matthew Boulton, the manufacturer and entrepreneur. During his time at Oxford Muirhead became acquainted with James Watt, jnr who later requested Muirhead to write the memoir of his father.

  • The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction
    S S symmetry Article The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction José Ignacio Rojas-Sola 1,* and Eduardo De la Morena-De la Fuente 2 1 Department of Engineering Graphics, Design and Projects, University of Jaén, Campus de las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén, Spain 2 Research Group ‘Engineering Graphics and Industrial Archaeology’, University of Jaén, Campus de las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-953-212452 Received: 9 April 2019; Accepted: 22 April 2019; Published: 24 April 2019 Abstract: This article shows the geometric modeling and virtual reconstruction of the inclined plane of Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England) that was in operation from 1792 to 1894. This historical invention, work of the Englishman William Reynolds, allowed the transportation of boats through channels located at different levels. Autodesk Inventor Professional software has been used to obtain the 3D CAD model of this historical invention and its geometric documentation. The material for the research is available on the website of the Betancourt Project of the Canary Orotava Foundation for the History of Science. Also, because the single sheet does not have a scale, it has been necessary to adopt a graphic scale so that the dimensions of the different elements are coherent. Furthermore, it has been necessary to establish some dimensional, geometric, and movement restrictions (degrees of freedom) so that the set will work properly. One of the main conclusions is that William Reynolds designed a mechanism seeking a longitudinal symmetry so that, from a single continuous movement, the mechanism allows two vessels to ascend and descend simultaneously.

  • Ketley Heritage Trail 1
    Ketley Heritage Trail 1 Our walk began at St. Mary’s Church, which was built in 1838, paid for by the Duke of Sutherland. Next door to the church on the left is where the first school in Ketley was built. This was a Sunday school only, as it was before the Education Act of 1880, which made school compulsory for children from 5-10 years old (later 5-12 years). To the right of the school is The Old Vicarage, where the vicars that served at the church, used to live. Just down from the church, we walked to Squatters Cottage built in 1769. A squatters Cottage was called this due to the fact that Squatters could only settle permanently if they could build their house in a day, and have a fire lit and smoke emitting from the chimney by the end of the day. This key factor determined the manner of building, usually starting with the construction of the hearth and chimney, and then the construction of the house around it. Surrounding land could also be enclosed with the cottage, but was determined exclusively by how far the owner could throw an axe or shovel from the four corners of the house. We continued down the road and turned into Quarry Lane. Here we looked at the stone used in the walls, which was carried up from the quarry by monks and then used to build them. Victorian terraces on Quarry Lane. We walked down Potters Bank, so called because at one time, it would have been a hive of activity for potters.

  • Oakengates Town Council Response to Consultation on Review of Borough Ward Boundaries
    OAKENGATES TOWN COUNCIL RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION ON REVIEW OF BOROUGH WARD BOUNDARIES BACKGROUND In October 2012, the Local Government Boundary Commission (“the Commission”) made a presentation outlining proposed changes to the boundaries of wards in The Wrekin Borough for the election of Councillors to sit on Telford & The Wrekin Council. It proposed no change to the number of councillors but significant changes to the boundaries and, in some cases, the names of wards. In June 2013, it made a report of Draft Recommendation, which is the subject of this report. The Commission stated (in Para 4), amongst its aims, that it should ensure that each councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, anticipated to average 2,375 electors per Borough councillor by 2018. It aims include (in Para 31) that no Borough Ward should have a variance of more than 10% away from this average. It advised further (in Para 11) that it had Statutory Criteria under the Local Democracy, Economic Development & Construction Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”) to ensure Effective and convenient local government”, with “Parishes as building blocks” and “with “Coherent wards with good internal transport links”. It stressed the need to “reflect the identities and interests of local communities, in particular …. the desirability of fixing boundaries so as not to break any local ties.” This report will examine, amongst other things, whether these Statutory Criteria have been met with regards to Oakengates. As all electors have to be represented by someone on the Borough Council, this report also examines if the electors of Oakengates Town are represented by councillors who cover coherent areas with their own identities.

    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.
