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 formerly referred to as Drayton in Hales from around 1868 and earlier merely 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 adjacent. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11773 people. In 1245, King Henry III gave a charter for a weekly Wednesday market, providing the town its modern name. The market continues to be run every Wednesday. There are a range of significant 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 certified organic farmland located off the A53 between the Müller and Tern Hill roundabouts. The farm track is accessible to everyone during farm shop opening hours, and on the path is the location of Fordhall Castle, an ancient motte and bailey structure which looks over the River Tern valley. Market Drayton has actually always been a hotbed for musical 'talent', producing a number of bands who have progressed on to achieve national praise. In 1981, the town boasted the '2nd best' school rock band in the country, TSB National School Band runners up, Monovision. At the exact same time, the local youth club were represented by the Platinum Needles in the NAYC Opportunity Rocks competition final.
