Border roads and the market towns along the Severn give these antique maps of Shropshire their character, with county sheets by Morden, Cary, Moule, Bacon and Philip and road strips through Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock. Route maps running on towards Welshpool and the Welsh interior show the county's place beside Wales, and parliamentary plans by Dawson and later Boundary Commission surveyors define the towns more closely. The prints record country houses, parkland and monastic remains, including Sweeney Hall, Apley Park and Haughmond Abbey, with views associated with Calvert's Staffordshire and Shropshire publications, Grose's antiquarian plates and later illustrations from Recording Britain.
