Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. xix, 377 pages, many illustrations, maps and plans. Ex-library copy, virtually uncirculated, dust wrapper in plastic cover. Volume XI, relating to an area between the left bank of the Severn and the Weald Moors, covers most of the east Shropshire coalfield. Two parishes from the borough of Wenlock and eight from Bradford hundred contributed territory to Telford New Town and the volume opens with an account of the town's planning and growth since designation (as Dawley) in 1963.

In the north Telford's rural surroundings comprise land sloping down to the Weald Moors; in the west the Wrekin dominates Aston, Little Wenlock, and other secluded villages. To the south the scenery and historic remains of Coalbrookdale and the Severn Gorge are now sedulously conserved. The volume includes an account of Bradford hundred.…
