	Foot-And-Mouth Crisis: Economy: Oswestry, town that's seen it all Independent, The (London) - FindArticles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		IN OSWESTRY, a town dubiously distinguished as the only place in Britain to have endured a foot-and-mouth epidemic twice in the past 35 years, the heritage signposts are rather stretching a point at present.
		Oswestry, in the words of a local newspaper banner headline, has become a "ghost town" and foot- and-mouth's far- reaching effects on British farming suggest it may never recover.
		Oswestry has also suffered from the growth of out-of-town shopping centres, the decline of rural transport in outlying village and the bypass.

		Old Oswestry lies across the route of Wat's Dyke, which was most likely built in the 5th or 6th Century.
		Old Oswestry has been described as the finest example of an Iron Age hill fort in the Marches, and this is mainly because of its highly elaborate defences.
		Old Oswestry was investigated by archaeologists some 60 years ago, and excavations show the hill fort was occupied probably from the late Bronze Age - before any of the ramparts were built.

		Bees around Oswestry may lack the abundant bee forage available in some other parts of the country, but there is usually a crop to be had from dandelion in the spring, and perhaps field beans later on, then heather honey for those adventurous enough to move their bees up into the mountains in late summer.
		Of course, for many, producing honey is not so important, and the joys of bee keeping in the quietly beautiful countryside of north Shropshire more than compensate for an indifferent crop.

		I was born and raised in the small Market town of Oswestry in North West Shropshire, England.
		It's not a 'life story', it's divided into subjects such as 'Early years' or 'School' so it's possible to dip in and sample any areas of interest.
		But ultimately, it doesn't really matter...this website is for my own pleasure and, if anyone does get something out of it, then I'll be pleased, if not, then I've still gained pleasure from stirring up old memories of people and places I've not seen or heard of for many years.
