Shropshire Anniversaries
2009 is the year to visit Shropshire – why? Because we are celebrating some really big birthdays indeed – Charles Darwin that evolutionary thinker was born 200 years ago in Shrewsbury. Also 200 years ago, Dr William Penny Brookes was born in Much Wenlock - he went on to inspire nothing less than the Modern Olympic Games. Whilst at Ironbridge 300 years ago a discovery by Abraham Darby ultimately led to the Industrial Revolution.The Shropshire Triangle that changed the World
Unlike the Bermuda Triangle where things get lost or go missing, in the Shropshire triangle things get discovered! Powerful forces at play? Who knows? What we do know is that this mysterious area has seen the discovery of some world changing creations and original thinking.
The Modern Olympics, Charles Darwin and the Industrial Revolution all started life in Shropshire. You can follow the Shropshire Triangle from Much Wenlock to Ironbridge and Shrewsbury and take in the Shropshire countryside at the same time – and maybe make a few discoveries yourself. |
