Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Guide to Shrewsbury It must not, however, be confounded with modern ideas or uses of a Town Council, with which it has not and never had the least to do. Its name arises from the fact that it was anciently used as the occasional residence and court of the Lord President of the Marches of Wales. Although the principal seat of the Presidents was the Castle of Ludlow, they were ac customed to hold here a court one term in the year for the despatch of business affecting this district, as they did another usually at Bewdley, and occasionally at Hereford. There is reason to believe that the builder of the Council House was a Mr. Peter Newton, himself a member of the Marches Council, about the year 1500, and by him or his son subsequently conveyed to the family of Knight, by whom, again, it was granted to Sir Andrew Corbet, Knt., vice-president of the Marches and it was probably from a member of the family of Corbet that the place, coming by grant to the Shrews bury Town Council, was eventually appropriated as the residence of the Lord of the Marches on his yearly visit to the town. But the Town Council appear to have divested themselves of their interest in the property in 1583, and since then it has been held by various private owners. The buildings form three sides of a small court. They are approached by a picturesque old timbered gateway, said to have beena Rounosabout Ramble.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...only of the old Friars Eremites of St. Augustine that once occupied a large space between this point and the Quarry. The land whereon the Friary and its Church stood was given to the Augustinian Order here by Henry III. about the middle of the thirteenth century. THE WELSH BRIDGE, Which we now approach--a strongly-built and handsomely designed structure of five arches--was erected in 1795, at a cost of 8,000, half of which sum was contributed by the town. It is 266 feet long and 30 feet wide. Anciently, at the Mardol end of the old Bridge, was a massive embattled tower, destroyed in 1770. Over and from this bridge radiate the roads leading from Shrewsbury into Wales. It forms the entrance also from the main town into the " Welsh" suburb of Frankwell, where still survive several exceptionally old and fine examples of our "black and white" timbered houses. ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH Is in this suburb. It is Early English in style; but it is not ancient, nor has it otherwise any features of special architectural or historic interest. MILLINGTON'S HOSPITAL Occupies a commanding eminence at the extremity of Frankwell. It was founded in 1734 by Mr. James Millington, a draper of the town, who endowed it largely, and its present income is stated to be, 1,000 per annum, under the management of trustees. THE MOUNT, on the Holyhead Road and overlooking the Severn, is, irrespective of its own attractions and the scenic beauties it commands, chiefly noteworthy for having been the birth-place and long the residence of the famous naturalist and philosopher, Charles Darwin, the author of "The Origin of Species." THE MILITARY DEPOT (or Barracks) of the 53rd (Shropshire) Regiment is situate at Copthorne, about a mile from the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Shrewsbury School R. Fisher, at the time of his death last November, had completed the writing of the Annals, and had revised the proofs except that of the last chapter and the Appendices. My task in seeing the work through the press has not been difficult. I have completed the revision Of the proofs, supervised the making of the Index, and have arranged for the illustrations, of which Mr. Fisher had only selected about a dozen. In this part of my work I have particularly to thank Mr. A. F. Chance, Mr. W. D. Haydon (who has taken many of the photographs specially), and Mr. E. Tudor Owen, who have all been most helpful. My best thanks are also due to the Rev. C. J. S. Churchill, for the portrait Of Mr. T. A. Bentley; to Mr. Samuel Butler, for the view of the old school in 1833, reproduced from his se and Letters of Bz'sfiop Butler; to Messrs. Adnitt and N aunton, for permission to reproduce the view of the castle and school in 1658, facing page 173; and to Dr. Calvert, for the view facing page 392. To Dr. Kennedy's note on Lz'bem Seize/a, in the Appendix, page 463, I have added, at the suggestion of Mr. T. E. Pickering, the differing view held by Mr. A. F. Leach, our latest authority on such matters, though it does not seem to me altogether convincing. Every one into whose hands the book may come, whether Old Salopians or others, must regret that Mr. Fisher did not live to see the full completion Of a work on which he spent SO much loving labour, and in which, I think every one will admit, he has achieved very considerable success. I have only to add that I shall be grateful for any additions or corrections, which shall be carefully considered when a new edition is required.

This is what no fellah can find out. The nearest that any one ever came to it, was the college student who hadn't learned his lesson, and when asked this question, said he did know, but had forgotten it. Unfortunately his memory has Since failed. We class ourselves with the know-nothings on this point, but we propose to try the Simplest first - the Storage Battery - but in doing this we take no sides with any of the con tending forces in the mighty struggle that is going on for supremacy. We don'l know, but we think the storage battery has a great future before it, and if this proves to be true, all who have storage bat tery patents will bring out their systems. We have studied some what relating to the contest between stationary power and locomotives just sixty years ago, in England, on the Liverpool and Manchester railway, when George Stephenson came out triumphant, and if we can aid in a similar contest regarding electric power, we are strongly disposed so to do.
