Interpretation of sources using Shrewsbury 1630 map
There was considerable debate between historians and archaeologists over the appearance in 1630 of the old abbey precincts.
The process by which the Shrewsbury 1630 map was created can be used to exemplify some important areas that are likely to form the forthcoming Key Stage 3 History programme for study. For example;
Key concepts
- Analyse and evaluate how and why the past has been interpreted and represented in different ways, for example in historians' debates and through a range of media such as films, reconstructions, museum displays, and the internet.
Key processes
- Identify, select and use a range of historical sources including textual, visual and oral sources, artefacts and the historic environment.
- Evaluate the sources used to reach reasoned conclusions.

Newport, Shropshire 1750-1914
These resources are intended for use mainly by Key stage 3 pupils (11-14 year olds) studying the impact of the Industrial Revolution. It aims to help pupils and teachers to grasp the opportunities presented by changes to the draft programme of study for History. It provides historical sources, particularly images, for use and evaluation. Most importantly it allows pupils, especially those in North Shropshire, a chance to examine aspects of their local history and how they relate to a broader context.
The Industrial Revolution is often portrayed as something that only affected major cities like Manchester and coal producing areas like South Wales. These resources show that even small market towns could not escape its effects.
