Inside you will find an exclusive mix of interviews, reviews and features that highlight the absolute best of what Telford has to offer, including places to visit, events and activities for everyone. What many have discovered in the last year when exploring more locally, is that Telford is an extraordinary place to live, work and visit. It is the perfect blend of a bustling town centre and local market towns, an abundance of parks and green spaces for escaping and enjoying the great outdoors, on foot, bike or even on the water. Just a couple of minutes’ drive from the heart of Telford you will find 17 Local Nature Reserves, Telford Town Park, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Ironbridge Gorge, and The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We hope this edition will bring you some inspiration and fresh ideas, reveal some secrets and hidden gems for you to enjoy as well as the latest news on what some of Telford’s most popular places have been up to. We are looking for interesting stories for our next editions, so if you have a story to tell, we would love to hear from you!

  • Reason for Closure
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Oakengates branch is closing on Friday 17 April 2020 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Oakengates branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 85% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 27% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 70% of this branch's customers have been using neighbouring branches. • We've identified that only 105 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Adrian Davies, your Market Director for Local West.

  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 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 focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.
