Chicester: Phillimore & Co Ltd, 1983 0850334756. Hardback. First edition. First printing. Collectable. Fine/Fine. The DW is NOT price-clipped. No annotations or inscriptions etc. 4to.. 128 pages (plus B/W and coloured photo plates sections) including detailed index and select bibliograophy. Shropshire is England's largest inland county, extending from the fringes of the Black Country and the Potteries to the high sheep pastures of Clun Forest and the craggy heights of the Stiperstones. Dr Trinder's very readable narrative encompasses Shropshire's entire story, from prehistory to the 1990s. In Roman times, the citizens of Wroxeter enjoyed life in their elegant city beside the Severn, while later centuries of fighting along the Welsh border left a legacy of castles and fortifications, among them Offa's Dyke, one of the supreme achievements of the Dark Ages. Most of Shropshire's towns were deliberately planted in the early Middle Ages, among them Ludlow, one of the most beautiful towns in Europe. The development of the Shropshire iron industry, symbolised by the Iron Bridge, ushered in a period of industrialisation which has re-shaped the whole Western world. From 1788 to 1834 Thomas Telford was county surveyor, adding roads, canals and bridges of unfailing elegance to the landscape. During the two World Wars the county housed many military bases, while the most dramatic event of the post-war years has been the transformation of a legacy of industrial dereliction into the new town of Telford. This book is based on more than thirty years of Dr Trinder's original research and close first-hand acquaintance with the Shropshire landscape. He provides a fascinating framework for further research, a thought-provoking chronicle for Salopians wishing to know more about their history and an informative introduction to Shropshire for its many visitors. About the Author: BARRIE TRINDER is well known as the author of more than twenty books, mostly on the history of industry and towns. His study of The Industrial Revolution in Shropshire, first published in 1973, appeared in a fourth edition in 2016. After a teaching career of nearly forty years, most of it in Shropshire, where for fifteen years he was Senior Research Fellow at the Ironbridge Institute, .
