The village stands near the Shrewsbury canal and the Shropshire Union railway, 1¼ mile ENE of Wellington; is inhabited chiefly by colliers; and has a station on the railway and a post office under Wellington, Salop. The chapelry was constituted in 1858. Rated property, £4, 052. Pop., 1, 654. Houses, 344. The property is much subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lichfield. Value, £102.* Patrons, Trustees. The church is very good; and a Wesleyan chapel was built in 1867.
