For some time I had thought
of going back to Shropshire to visit my ancestor roots.
I would go to visit the places associated with my Madeley ancestors and
see the villages and countryside where they once lived.
My
wife, Doreen, and I had talked about it and so we decided to
go last summer in 2002.
We set off from Preston in Lancashire down the M6 motorway
at 10am and the hot sun had burnt away the early morning
fog.
At Junction 14 we arrived at Stafford and took a
welcome break and refreshments.
On the left are the places we visited as we
travelled
through Shropshire from Stafford.
