Shropshire is a county in the West Midlands of England, bordering Powys and Wrexham in Wales to the west and north-west, Cheshire to the north, Staffordshire to the east, Worcestershire to the south-east and Herefordshire to the south. Shropshire Council was created in 2009, a unitary authority taking over from the previous county council and five district councils. The borough of Telford and Wrekin has been a separate unitary authority since 1998 but continues to be included in the ceremonial county.
The county's population and economy is centred on five towns: the county town of Shrewsbury, which is culturally and historically important and close to the centre of the county; Telford, a new town in the east which was constructed around a number of older towns, most notably Wellington, Dawley and Madeley, which is today the most populous; and Oswestry in the north-west, Bridgnorth just to the south of Telford, and Ludlow in the south. The county has many market towns, including Whitchurch in the north, Newport north-east of Telford and Market Drayton in the north-east of the county.
The Ironbridge Gorge area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covering Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale and a part of Madeley. There are other historic industrial sites in the county, such as at Shrewsbury, Broseley, Snailbeach and Highley, as well as the Shropshire Union Canal.
The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers about a quarter of the county, mainly in the south. Shropshire is one of England's most rural and sparsely populated counties, with a population density of 136/km2 (350/sq mi). The Wrekin is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the county, though the highest hills are the Clee Hills, Stiperstones and the Long Mynd. Wenlock Edge is another significant geographical and geological landmark. In the low-lying northwest of the county overlapping the border with Wales is the Fenn's, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve, one of the most important and best preserved bogs in Britain. The River Severn, Great Britain's longest river, runs through the county, exiting into Worcestershire via the Severn Valley. Shropshire is landlocked and with an area of 3,487 square kilometres (1,346 sq mi) is England's largest inland county. The county flower is the round-leaved sundew.
Shropshire is connected to the rest of the United Kingdom via a number of road and rail links. Historically, rivers and later canals in the county were used for transport also, although their use in transport is now significantly reduced. The county's main transport hub is Shrewsbury, through which many significant roads and railways pass and join.

The Euston Arch, London.
From One Foot in the Past. Demolished in 1961, the Euston Arch's fate became a call to arms for the conservation movement who felt that the loss of Britain's biggest Doric arch dating from 1830 was a step too far. Ultimately, its loss helped save St Pancras station and strenghened the listing system that preserves buildings. As this programme c.1994 explains, there is still hope that the Euston Arch can be resurected.

Treasures in Trust
Well, don't times change. And here's proof that it's even the case for the National Trust which, may preserve its properties for ever, for everyone, but has seen a significant shift in the way people view it. Now, it is the UK's largest membership organisation, but back in its centenary year of 1996 it was still somewhat in a transition phase - see for yourself. Includes footage of Patrick Gwynne before Homewood in Surrey opened, the then recently-bought atomic-weapons-research station of Orford Ness in Suffolk.

ONE FOOT IN THE PAST - Ruins (BBC 2), 1993
I have a love of ruins and I can identify with some of the opinions here. It's a bit deep and cerebral and the presenter is horribly 'Thatcher's Britain' in his style, however.

An Introduction to Watts Chapel
Designed and built by Mary Watts, the Chapel is a unique fusion of art nouveau, Celtic, Romanesque and Egyptian influence with Mary's own original style. It is impossible not to admire the work and inspiration that lies behind this beautiful little building.
'It is no exaggeration to say that the Watts Cemetery Chapel is one of the most beautiful, one of the most extraordinary, original, marvellous and magical buildings in the whole of the British Isles!'- Lucinda Lambton
