Shropshire extends 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. It has elegant towns such as Shrewsbury, Wroxeter and Ludlow, castles, canals and iron bridges, in fact it has everything. 'Dr. Trinder has chosen his threads and patterns with care and woven the story of man in Shropshire into a finely-balanced tapestry.' Shropshire Magazine
