Town
A town is a human settlement. Towns are generally larger than villages and smaller than cities, though the criteria to distinguish between them vary considerably in different parts of the world. Origin and use The word "town" shares an origin with the German word , the Dutch word , and the Old Norse . The original Proto-Germanic word, *''tūnan'', is thought to be an early borrowing from Proto-Celtic *''dūnom'' (cf. Old Irish , Welsh ). The original sense of the word in both Germanic and Celtic was that of a fortress or an enclosure. Cognates of ''town'' in many modern Germanic languages designate a fence or a hedge. In English and Dutch, the meaning of the word took on the sense of the space which these fences enclosed, and through which a track must run. In England, a town was a small community that could not afford or was not allowed to build walls or other larger fortifications, and built a palisade or stockade instead. In the Netherlands, this space was a garden, mor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Admaston, Shropshire
Admaston is a village in the English ceremonial county of Shropshire, in the borough of Telford & Wrekin. It is located northwest of Wellington and close to the village of Wrockwardine. It now forms part of the Telford new town. History The village of Admaston dates to before the time of the Domesday Book, which records the area as being held by Almund and his son Alward, from the Earl of Shrewsbury. The village name derives from Saxon "Eadmund's Tun", translating to "Eadmund's Homestead". Admaston achieved some level of fame in the 18th century when the natural saline spring was developed into a small spa. The spa building opened in 1750 and had established a hotel by 1805. By this time the waters of Admaston Spa were revered for their restorative qualities but the spa's popularity began to decline from the 1860s and it became a private home. The imposing main building with its distinctive clock house was used as the headquarters of the Admaston Home Guard during the Second ...

Allscot
Allscott is a small village north west of Wellington, Shropshire. The River Tern flows by. It falls within the parish of Wrockwardine and the borough of Telford and Wrekin. Nearby is the small village of Walcot. Etymology The name derives of Aldescote which translates as ''Aldred's Cottage''. Recent history In 1927, a sugar beet factory (which came to be owned by British Sugar), once stood in the village and was a major local employer. One of the small steam locomotives that used to work in the factory has been preserved at the Foxfield Railway in Staffordshire. The factory buildings have been demolished since its closure and in 2015, an application to build 470 homes on the site was granted permission by Telford and Wrekin Council. Concerns about overcrowded roads have led to calls for a railway station to be opened on the site as it is adjacent to the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton Line, but the developers have stated that a railway station is not in their plans.
