Shrewsbury is a large market town in the centre of the county, and has traditionally been regarded with suspicion, often hostility, by the rest of the county, particularly by the inhabitants of the very rural South West (although since the 1960s that hostility has been diverted toward Telford).
Shrewsbury itself is a polarised town, with a very affluent district around Copthorne, which contrasts sharply with the poorer suburbs of Bayston Hill, Castlefields, Ditherington and Harlescott.
South East Shropshire contains a relatively large town, Bridgnorth, fertile farmland in the Severn Valley and ex-mining communities in the Wyre Forest Coalfield (Highley, Alveley and the Stottesden area) and around Broseley (part of the Wrekin Coalfield).
