Lowe’s warehouse, Mardol quay, two or three times a week WELLINGTON, WITH THE VILLAGES OF WROCKWARDINE, WOMBRIDGE, KETLEY AND NEIGHBOURHOODS. WELLINGTON is a market town and parish in the hundred of Bradford, 144 miles N.W. from London, and 11 E. from Shrewsbury. The town is situated near the ancient Roman _Watling Street_, about two miles from the Wrekin, a lofty mountain, which rises from the plain to the height of 1,200 feet above the bed of the Severn. The face of the country around here, is diversified by mountainous tracts of land, and rich valleys; while another wide portion is an even surface, fertile, and in a perfect state of agriculture. During the great civil war, this was the first place of rendezvous of Charles I. On the 19th September, 1642, the king mastered his forces near the town, and having commanded his military orders to be read, delivered, in person, the remarkable address mentioned by Clarendon. Wellington-under-the-Wrekin, as it is sometimes called, to distinguish it from Wellington in Somersetshire, is neatly built, contains a number of good houses, is gas-lighted, and has received considerable improvements; among these may be mentioned the erection of a new and handsome church, and a neat market-hall. The government of the town is vested in a mayor and constables, and two clerks are appointed to regulate the markets: these officers are nominated at the manorial court, held annually in November by Lord Forester the lord of the manor. The magistrates sit in petty sessions weekly, upon business connected with the hundred; and a County Court is held monthly in Church-street, for the recovery of debts not exceeding £50—the town being included in the twenty-seventh circuit of towns. Wellington is a polling station at the election of members to represent the northern division of the county. The trade of this place is of some consequence—seated at it is, in the centre of a productive coal and lime district; besides which, the many works are of considerable magnitude; there are many malting and flour mills, and the trade in hops, seeds and timber, is somewhat extensive. The town contains several excellent inns—the principal are the ‘Bull’s Head,’ in New-street, and the ‘Charlton Arms,’ in Church-street. We notice the ‘Admaston Hotel’ under Wrockwardine village. Wellington is now included in the advantages derived from the rail—the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line intersects the town, and the Wellington and Stafford branch of the Shropshire Union Railways communicates therewith; a station erected in the centre of the town, is used in common by both lines.
