Hi, Jan...I have been having some buggy things happening too. Maybe too many of us put our messages up at the same time...who knows....When the site went "boing" it also was really confusing, because I'd go into an old thread and think...now didn't I answer that? But I am such a goofball sometimes...so who knows when it's just me!!!
So... I wonder now, who this Anne is that they named the hill after. You will not get anything done if you spend all your time taking pics for me HaHa, seems my family liked to move around a fair bit!!!!
  Winter is coming and Shropshire is looking awefully good!!! Why didn't I win a piece  of that last lottery...????

 ;D ;D ;D  Many cyber hugs to all. URGR8    ;D ;D ;D ;

Hi JJ

Here's a few bits from this site:

www.search.revolutionaryplayers.org.uk/ content/files/102/106/343.rtf

"Ditherington Flax Mill is a grade I listed building. It lies in a semi-derelict state on the outskirts of Shrewsbury within a site which includes Grade II structures. It was one of Britain’s most important factories and is possibly the most significant building in Shropshire...

...By 1800 a house for clerks employed at Ditherington Mill had been built by a Scottish migrant to Shrewsbury, John Simpson (1755-1815), who was employed as clerk-of-works at the newly built St Chad’s Church. Simpson subsequently worked with Thomas Telford on his civil engineering projects...

...The building was constructed from the same bricks that were used for building the original mill in 1796-1797. The house was known at one time as Ann’s Hill after Simpson’s daughter."

The Flax Mill (or as most people know it, The Maltings, because that is what it became after flax went out of fashion) is an amazing building.  After many years of wrangling, it is now about to be renovated. 

Best wishes,
Monica

Hi, Monica...thanks for the info.
  Its fun to hear all about  Shrewsbury. With the pics I now also have of the buildings ( thanks JAN!!!) and these, I can now visualize some of the places in which my ancestors lived. Wish I could see it in person!  The Lottery is up at 40 million....never been so high before....a wee tiny piece of that would get me there.
   Haven't been at the genealogy as much for a bit, now, but still am always checking for email from my rootschat bunch! I never thought that I would join a forum of any kind, and here I am poking around in this one all comfy!
  all the very best and cyber hugs to all!  Jeany
