Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the English Civil War, the Royalist Army in Shropshire needed cannons and cannonballs. King Charles I's master of ordnance would have liaised with Sir Charles Smyth, the owner of land in Bouldon, a small hamlet about 10 km north-northeast of Ludlow Castle, for a charcoal iron furnace to be constructed on the bank above Pye brook. Ironstone was already being worked on the upper slopes of the Brown Clee and supplied to furnaces on the River Stour near Bridgnorth. Woodland on the lower slopes of the Clee Hills was being coppiced for the charcoal used to heat the iron. Local limestone quarries supplied the flux which helped separate the iron from the waste rock. Water was available from the brooks that drained the Clee Hills. A charcoal iron furnace was constructed in Bouldon which manufactured cannons and cannonballs for Ludlow and Bridgnorth castles. Later it produced pig iron which was reputed to be the best in Britain. Although the furnace changed hands several times, it provided wealth for its owners for over 150 years and stimulated the local economy by employing local men not just in the furnace but also in the casting shed, in the bell pit mines on the Clee Hills, the owners of packhorses and donkeys used to carry the ironstone and cordwood to the furnace site, the 'charkers' who made the charcoal, cartwrights, wheelwrights, carpenters, carters, horse owners, blacksmiths, forgers, accountants and others. Bernard O'Connor provides a detailed and illustrated account of an important part of Corvedale's industrial history.

Download or read book Bouldon in the News written by Bernard O'Connor and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people in this country have never heard of the tiny community of Bouldon, near Diddlebury, Shropshire. There are only thirteen houses, a dairy unit and the Tally Ho public house. There was a Methodist chapel but it closed several decades ago. The hamlet is situated on the banks of Pye Brook where it enters Corvedale at the foot of the western slopes of the Brown Clee, the highest hill in the county. There have been people living in this area for thousands of years. Its sandstone is reported to have been used to tile the roofs of Roman villas in Yarchester and Wroxeter and provide window sills and the portico to Downton Castle, near Ludlow. It was recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as having four households. It played an important role in the English Civil War as there was an iron furnace up the valley which provided cannons and cannonballs for the Royalist Armies in Ludlow, Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth. It had a water mill recorded in 1611 and it and the furnace are marked on John Roque's 1752 map of Shropshire. When the furnace with own waterwheel ceased operating at the end of the 18th century, the building was converted into a paper mill, then a house. Despite its small size, Bouldon has appeared in numerous newspaper articles over the last 200 years. Local historian Bernard O'Connor has compiled a selection to give the reader insight into the life and times of residents of Bouldon and its neighbouring parishes. It includes stories of the Tally Ho (licensed in 1844), its football, darts and dominoes teams, its farmers and farm labourers, crime and punishment, property sales, marriages, funerals and celebrations.

Download or read book Forest Gardening written by Robert Hart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest gardening is a way of working with nature which is not only productive and requires minimal maintenance, but also has fantastic environmental benefits. You don't need a forest for forest gardening. Based on the model of a healthy natural woodland, a forest garden incorporates a wide variety of useful plants, including fruit and nut trees, perennial herbs, and vegetables in vertical layers. They rarely require any weeding, digging or pest control and as plants are chosen for their beneficial effects on one another, they form their own sustainable ecosystems, offering great environmental benefits. Written by forest gardening pioneer, Robert Hart, this comprehensive guide to forest gardening describes its principles and practice, including guidelines on how to design and maintain a forest garden, and lists of recommended species for temperate, tropical and sub-tropical climates. It also shows potential value of forest gardening for countering environmental devastation. Hart's book beautifully describes his decades of experience gardening in the Shropshire countryside, and offers fresh ways of understanding the relationships between people and growing plants. Blending history, philosophy, anthropology, and seasoned gardening wisdom in a lucid sequence of essays, Forest Gardening examines the pleasure of 'hands off' as well as hands-on gardening. For gardeners who aspire to create ecological as well as beautiful gardens, Forest Gardening will be an inspiration and a pleasure.
