A
journey that gives the reader a peek into the past and a gentle probe
into life’s trials, tribulations, changes and difficulties which
led to the ultimate survival of this beautiful Shropshire spot.
It travels across the river, down the river, alongside it and occasionally
under it. It tells tales of industry, commerce and private enterprise,
the life and times of the ironworks and the old public houses. It is mindful
of those who had the foresight to make some necessary changes in the village
and those who have had the good grace to accept changes imposed upon them.
It covers a diverse range of subject matter; including the old Ironworks
and its place beside the prominent names of the industrial revolution,
the ferry, the bridge, the railway and three public houses, the River
and Rail, the Unicorn and The Lion. |
