	History of the Clee Hills Trial
		The fact that Simon had spent a lot of time in the past wandering the Clee Hills with a copy of 'Wheelspin' and a map in his hand, had classic trialling in the genes; and that Beetles are ideally suited to trialling meant that the decision to run a classic trial was an obvious one.
		ACTC championship status for the Clee Hills Trial was regained, but this meant another break in 1995 to again return the trial to January.

		The Abdon Clee quarries closed in 1936, when I was 11, but as a kid I used to go up there and roam around, because everybody knew me, and ride around on the 'whizz-bangs' - the little locomotives moving the stone from the quarries to the crusher.
		It's very rural around Brown Clee now, but it was an industrial place before the war, because there was the concrete plant and the tarmac plant in Ditton Priors, plus the railway - and the quarries.
		If the wind was coming down over the hill you could hear the crusher at the top crunching away, even down in the village.

		The property was leasehold and very extensive, having an area of over 2,000 acres covering the whole of the high portion of the Clee Hills.
		So, by late 1874, the Clee Hills collieries were producing large quantities of coal under an efficient management team and the shareholders patiently waited for their dividends.
		The Clee Hills Coal Company is recorded in the Mineral Statistics as operating the mines until 1878, then is replaced by the Cornbrook and Knowbury Coal and Stone Company who worked the collieries into the 1880s.

		There were various companies operating on the Clee at the end of the 19th century, and all tended to use similar methods to extract the stone, known locally as 'Jew-stone.' This was a corruption of the Welsh, 'Dhu-Stone' referring to its fl colour.
		Stone was extracted from quarries in the side of the hill by blasting using explosives packed at the bottom of a drill hole.
		They are accumulations of rock fragments that have been freed from their softer parent rocks by either physical weathering, or the abrasion of glaciers which, is then subsequently worn and transported by water or wind to accumulate in layers.

	Notes Towards a Survey of Shropshire Holy Wells (part three)
		Clee Hill, 4 km to the north, is of a dark igneous rock, the Dhusyone, which gives a lowering impression, and the area abounds in stories of ghosts, of which the most famous is the 'angel' supposedly seen by drivers on the A4117 road, a mile and a half from Hope Bagot church.
		Most of the Ludlow area is also Silurian on the south side of the Teme (and in the town itself, which is a Silurian spur on the North of the river); to the north of the river is Old Red Sandstone.
		Moving outside the area of the Shropshire hills, there are to their west two wells that are claimed as Shropshire holy wells though - such is the border at this point - Wales may dispute the claim.

		Iron mining and the iron manufacture are carried on at Coalbrookdale and elsewhere in the Madeley district and in the Wellington district.
		Wenlock Edge and the neighbouring hills admit of tillage, and so does Clun Forest; but some of the hills on the Welsh borders are too high and bare even for sheep feeding.
		The lofty Clee Hills are almost wholly cultivated or depastured; but their alluvial geological nature will account for their fertility.
