	GENUKI: Bridgnorth, Shropshire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868
		Bridgnorth is the seat of a thriving trade, chiefly in connection with the navigation of the Severn, the building of vessels, and the export of corn and malt.
		The government of the borough is vested, by an Act passed in 1835, in a mayor, 4 aldermen, and 12 councillors, the style of the corporation being the "bailiffs, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Bridgnorth".
		Bridgnorth was the birthplace (1729) of Bishop Percy, to whom we are indebted for a collection of the "Reliques of Ancient English Poetry", and of Francis Moore, the originator of the medico-prophetic almanac which still passes under his name.
