This is a follow on from my earlier memory - Christmas in Shifnal. What a wonderful time.

I miss Shifnal and have very happy fond memories.
I have just gone onto this site. I remember the Goliahs. It was when I was a little girl, Mr Goliah used to regularly visit my dad and I think at one stage he dropped off a load of cattle manure with a horse and cart for our garden.

My Grandmother Mrs E M Goliah had a general stores on Broadway I believe it was sold circa 1956 due to ill health, I believe it was an Elizabethan style property, and was next door to Cheadles, the 'clock' shop. The property no longer exists due to 'redevelopment'

Shropshire Photographic Memories
The Court House gets its name because it was once, in the 16th century, the home of a leading lawyer and speaker in the House of Commons. The most famous resident, however, was Abraham Darby, who lived here for a time after he arrived in the area. The building has recently been restored and is now a hotel.

Down the Severn Photographic Memories
Madeley Court dates from the Tudor period, and was the oldest building in the old village of Madeley (now a part of Telford). It looks as though some work is being done on the roof, and the buildings appear to be intact and free of ivy. In later years part of Madeley Court would become a ruin.

Now a hotel, the Old Court House was built by Sir Robert Brooke - he had bought the estate for £946 (an enormous sum of money for the times) following the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. The name of the house comes about because he was a lawyer and also speaker of the House of Commons.
