Articles and memories
Madeley Green Day, Sunday October 4th midday-4pm.
Woodland crafts abounded demonstrators encouraged visitors; excited children, mums, dads and grandparents to learn a new skill by discovering the satisfaction of working with natural reed. Making curly plaited willow snails, wood turning using traditional string method to make chunky pencils, delightful Chrysthanemums made from curling wooden strips of birch wood and just how easy it is to make the simplest bird box.
A gaggle of geese, a paddle of ducks, and rabbits hopped side by side in a secure, purposely constructed enclosure.
The delicious aroma of freshly cooked organic crepe pancakes filled the still autumn air.
Marquees housed a variety of stalls manned by enthusiastic local community groups. Robert and Jeff two magnificent heavy horses adorned in full harness their highly polished leather and brass dazzled visitors in the bright sunlight. The spectacular Whitchurch Dog Display Team enthralled a packed arena.

Allotment Strategy
Dawley Bank Horticultural Society have worked closely with the local authority and residents in identifying a parcel of reclaimed scrubland in an over developed old mining area for the community to grow food locally.
Dawley Bank in South East Telford has a wide demography encompassing an expanding population within two neighbouring parishes it is part of an area of huge complexity, socially, culturally and geographically.
The preparation of site including access, ground clearance and water installation will be planned sensitively with consideration to existing surrounding woodland and natural habitat. Currently the provision of allotment land in the Borough falls short of national recommendation and active steps have been taken by the local authority to redress this imbalance.

Springwell Pit Disaster
Dawley, December 6th 1872
The main industries in Dawley and surrounding locale at this time were Mining and Agriculture.
The workaday activity of the coal mine was pandemonium let loose, empty tubs in sets of six hurtling their way down the steep incline and full ones pushing their way to the shaft bottoms; men had to jump into holes dug deep underground to avoid being crushed to death. Overmen shouting and cursing hurrying tired bodies into even greater effort so that the precious coal could get to the surface and meet the demands of buyers. The quest for the black diamond overruled sanity, order and grace.

‘Leave Them Peas Alone’
August was reaching its end, vegetables carefully grown and nurtured throughout. The summer months had now reached maturity, the soft fruits, apples, damsons, and pears were plump and ripened. Beneath laden trees grass wet with heavy dew lay festooned with crimson windfalls. Summer flowers bowed respectfully to the season’s conclusion.
It’s the time of year when avid garden enthusiasts search their finest homegrown produce for that particular superb specimen sure to beat all other exhibitors who dare to enter ‘The Baptist Horticultural Show’. Preparations were well in hand the ‘committee’ established, chief in ‘charge’ was a tall authoritative figure, ‘Mr Jim Pitchford’.
