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.

For further information, contact: 0345 678 9000 1 Shropshire Council: SAMDev Plan Revised Preferred Options Draft July 2013 This is the third or ‘Revised Preferred Options’ stage of the Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan. This document deals with any changes to the strategies for growth in towns, hubs and clusters and changes to preferred options for sites for new development following the extensive consultation and engagement in 2012. The Revised Preferred Options SAMDev Plan is out for public consultation for 8 weeks from 1st July 2013, and comments are sought only on matters that have changed since the Preferred Options consultation in 2012. If your village is not included in the list of Community Hubs or Community Clusters above, then this means that your Parish Council has not advised us to date that it wishes the village to be identified as a location for new open market housing development. The village is therefore proposed to be ‘countryside’ for planning policy purposes, where new development is strictly controlled in accordance with national and local planning policies.

  • Ribbesford Meadows Teams
    Date: 05.02.2019 Ground: 81 Match: 23 (2018/2019 season) Venue: Ribbesford Meadows Teams: Bewdley Town V Smethwick Rangers Competition: West Midlands Regional League Premier Division Admission: £3 Final Score: 5-0 (H/T 3-0) Referee: Not Known Attendance: 22 (Head Count) Mileage to venue and return: 41.2 Miles Programme: £1 Introduction This game was the third time in a row that I had attempted to take in a midweek game of football. Two weeks ago, I arrived at the Aspray Arena to watch Dudley Town V Black Country Rangers, but the snow came down with force and the game was postponed with around half hour to go too kick off. Last Tuesday I had planned to visit Wellbeing Park for the ‘El Stonio’ between Stone Dominoes V Stone Old Alleynians, but that was postponed earlier in the day due to more bad weather. So, it goes without saying that I was very pleased to see an improvement in the weather and for this game at Ribbesford Meadows to go ahead. As this was a midweek match, I went straight to the venue directly from my place of work in Atcham, Shropshire. My route from work took me the usual way home too Much Wenlock but instead of turning right in Much Wenlock and towards my, HQ in South Shropshire I travelled towards the Shropshire Village of Morville. From Morville I travelled through more Shropshire Villages – Glazeley, Billingsley and Button Oak to name but a few before arriving in Bewdley. As is my usual practise, I found the location of the ground which is located in the Village of Ribbesford, 1.3 miles from Bewdley.
