Market Drayton
Market Drayton is a modest market town in north Shropshire in England. The town is positioned on the River Tern, between Shrewsbury and Stoke-on-Trent, and was previously named Drayton in Hales from around 1868 and earlier just as 'Drayton' around 1695. Market Drayton is on the Shropshire Union Canal and on Regional Cycle Route 75. The A53 road by-passes the town. The counties of Staffordshire and Cheshire are both close by. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11773 people. In 1245, King Henry III granted a charter for a weekly Wednesday market, giving the town its existing name. The market continues to be run every Wednesday. There are a range of notable landmarks in the town. These feature Pell Wall Hall, Adderley Hall, Buntingsdale Hall, Salisbury Hill, Tyrley Locks on the Shropshire Union Canal and the Thomas Telford designed aqueduct. Fordhall Farm has 140 acres (0.57 km2) of community-owned all natural farmland located off the A53 in between the Müller and Tern Hill roundabouts. The farm track is open to the general public throughout farm shop opening hours, and on the trail is the location of Fordhall Castle, an ancient motte and bailey structure which surmounts the River Tern valley. Market Drayton has often been a hotbed for musical 'talent', producing a range of bands who have progressed on to attain national praise. In 1981, the town boasted the '2nd finest' school rock band in the nation, TSB National School Band runners up, Monovision. At the very same time, the local youth club were represented by the Platinum Needles in the NAYC Opportunity Rocks competition final.
