The Environment Agency has set itself the aim of protecting and enhancing the whole environment through the promotion of sustainable development. One way of achieving this aim is through the production of Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs), which provide a framework for protecting and improving our local environment. The Middle Severn area is one of contrasts lying between the West Midlands conurbation to the east and the rural borderlands to the west. It is known for its natural beauty and unspoilt countryside and is a place that is valued by its local residents and visitors alike. Over time, however, development and land use changes have impacted on our local area leading to increased pressures being put on our natural resources, wildlife and habitat. It is our challenge to balance these demands and manage the area in a sustainable way. I am grateful for the responses to our consultation. The Plan covers a five year period, and outlines both the Agency's and other partners' actions within the area. Annual Reviews will report on the progress being made. I am sure that you will help us to take this Agency initiative forward. Through collaboration and commitment we will turn these words into action on the ground.

It is the reason for the city’s existence, has historic importance as a means of transportation and today is a significant recreational and amenity facility. The Riverside Conservation Area was first designated on 8th September 1992 and boundary amendments were previously made on 13th June 2000. View of the cathedral from Diglis A conservation area is defined in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. This appraisal is in line with sections 69 and 71 of the 1990 Act, which places a duty on the local authority to designate and manage their conservation areas. Designation helps to ensure that an area identified for its special interest and significance is protected and managed appropriately. 3 Conservation is the management of change to a significant place or asset, in a way that will best sustain its heritage values, while recognising opportunities to reveal or reinforce those values for present and future generations. The conservation area appraisal is a means of identifying and assessing what the special architectural or historic interest of an area is, how this contributes to the areas character and appearance, and is an opportunity to identify where this can be enhanced.

  • 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.

  • Loppington, Colemere
    Days Out with a religious theme or connection North-west of Shrewsbury – Battlefield, Preston Gubbals, Ruyton XI Towns, Loppington, Colemere. Sculpture of medieval weapons of war, at the site of Battlefield Church, near Shrewsbury. Battlefield Magda and I chose St Valentine’s Day, probably the first mild and sunny day of 2019, to explore the area of Shropshire to the north-west of Shrewsbury. Our choices were guided by the excellent leaflet published by the Shropshire Churches Tourism Group. We began with a very famous church near Shrewsbury, near the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. B u ilt The church is on the site of the medieval Battle of Shrewsbury; Magda investigates the lychgate carvings! Alas, the church is no longer used for worship but it is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. We were unable to go inside. However, the stonework outside features some wonderful gargoyles. The Chapel was built in 1406 to commemorate those who died in the battle – estimated to be around 5,000. The battle was fought on 21 July 1403, waged between an army led by the Lancastrian King Henry IV and a rebel army led by Henry "Harry Hotspur" Percy from Northumberland. It was the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil, and reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow and ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England. The battle itself and many of the key people involved appear in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. Inside the church, the roof beams display the shields of Henry IV’s knights.

  • Roman Roads in Britain
    THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES !' m ... 0'<.;v.' •cv^ '. V'- / / ^ .^ /- \^ ; EARLY BRITAIN. ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THOMAS CODRINGTON M. INST. C.E., F.G.S. WITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS, AND SMALL MAPS LY THE TEXT SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE, LONDON: NORTHUMBERLAND AVENUE, W.C. 43, QUEEN VICTORIA STREET, E.G. ErIGHTON ; 129, NORTH STREET. 1903 PUBLISHED UNDEK THE DIRECTION OF THE GENERAL LITERATURE COMAHTTEE. DA CsHr PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the literature of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Ciren- cester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes undeserved on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads ; and with the evidence now avail- able few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable cer- tainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can IV PREFACE only be guessed at.

  • Shropshire Middle Severn Catchment Partnership Catchment Plan 2017 – 2020
    Shropshire Middle Severn Catchment Partnership Catchment Plan 2017 – 2020 Shropshire Middle Severn Management Catchment Plan In May 2103 DEFRA published its policy framework, ‘Catchment Based Approach: Improving the quality of our water environment’. Which aimed to encourage the ‘wider adoption of an integrated catchment based approach’ to meeting the targets being set by the Water Framework Directive. This policy document came out of the evaluation of a two year pilot phase and establishes the Catchment Based Approach [CaBA] as the framing method by which the water environment is cared for and viewed in England. A Catchment is a ‘geographic area defined naturally by surface hydrology’ [DEFRA May 2013]. Catchment exist at many scales but the CaBA network of catchment partnerships is based on the EA Management Catchment boundaries. The catchment partnership is a ‘group that works with stakeholders to agree and deliver strategic priorities for the catchment and support the EA in developing an appropriate River Basin management plan, required under the Water Framework Directive’ [DEFRA May 2013]. There are 11 Management Catchments in the River Severn Basin. This document focuses on just one, Shropshire Middle Severn. The Catchment Based Approach is underpinned by being a locally based partnership, supporting localised networking by DEFRA family organisations, building new connections between sectors such as agriculture and utility companies and support local decision making processes. DEFRA expects the catchment partnerships to aid in the process of ‘translating environmental problems in actions’. Actions will vary in scale, for instance practical works are more likely to be localised to waterbody up to providing comment or feedback on River basin planning consultations.
