A new Benchmark Walk - this Cinderloo Bridge Extension to the Oakengates Benchmark Walk is just over 1-mile in distance & includes details of the Shropshire Canal, moved villages, award winning iron-works, maggot factories, bricks, and a murder & suicide. rowleyanth.wordpress.com/202…

Join us next Sunday (13 April) for the Cinderloo Commemorative Walk in Telford. Meet 10:30am at the Miners’ Memorial, Town Park. Walk the new route, hear the story, honour the legacy. #CinderlooUprising #Telford #HistoryWalk #Cinderloo1821

On this day 1/2/1821 the Cinderloo uprising started #cinderloo #shropshire #shroppiesShropshireStuff cinderloo.com

A cinderloo uprising sounds a bit grim tbh

We in Shropshire had our own Cinderloo uprising in 1821. Where one Thomas Palin was hung, as an example to the rest of the impoverished workers.

If governments of every political stripe refuse to deal with an issue that a huge number of people are concerned about, lie to them amount it, inflict the consequences of it upon them without their consent and despite their protests, call them racists and far right and mock them for their concerns, eventually something will happen. Many riots are viewed with equanimity in hindsight. Spitalfield riots. Nottingham cheese riots, Gordon riots, Revolt of the housewives, Priestly riots, Peterloo massacre, Cinderloo uprising, Days of May, and so on. English history is replete with riots.

A very enjoyable walk around the Cinderloo walk route. Great company ,loads to talk about. A while since we last did this so half of us excused for missing the "slagbear" and taking a km muddy detour in the woods. cinderloo.com/

Someone hasn’t heard of the Levellers, the Chartists, the Peasant’s Revolt, the Peterloo Massacre, the Cinderloo Uprising,…

I haven’t actually seen this! I’m just back from Welshpool, Llangollen & Loopfest festivals recently & I’m back to Welshpool this weekend. It could be a very different kind of gig, I’m not doing “live lounge covers”. Will do Cinderloo though and poss wear my @telfordutd shirt😍

I'm sorry I missed it @pete62jackson but our curriculum @HollinswoodPri still has the Cinderloo riot running throughout it

Cinderloo May Day walk cinderloo.com/2023/05/01/cin…

Looks like you were working out how to get that slag heap home Dave but gave it up as a bad job 😉

Today's @cinderloo #MayDay walk set off from #Miners Memorial @TelfordTownPark Great company ,lots of local knowledge shared.

Here's an event for your diaries, Wellingtonians: the indefatigable @pete62jackson is bringing his Cinderloo project back to Wellington Library for the latest of the town history group's essential bi-monthly talks: #Wellington #Shropshire #Cinderloo #History #DontMissOut

Looking at the route Dave's posted there were maybe seven or eight benchmarks you wandered past - a photo of the one on the (old) Hollinswood / Snedshill's footbridge near the Cinderloo bridge is attached. The link is to my Telford Benchmarks Google Map google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1…

artefact in the woods- looks like a boulder a glacial erratic but rust colouring and its position in a historical #coalmining and #ironworking area point to waste from #smelting.The word #slag bear comes to mind. Have I dreamt that name? #cinderloo #Telford #Moss and #lichen

Date for you diaries - illustrated talk from @pete62jackson at #Wellington History Group on the #Cinderloo project. 18th May 2023 7.30pm

202 years after Tom Palin was hung, #Cinderloo finally has a name plate to recognise the lasting legacy of the people who fought for social justice 2 centuries ago

1/- Cinderloo - in 1821 - 18months after Peterloo in Manchester England miners in Shropshire struck and were also attached by the yeomanry. Lots of local activists and amateur historians worked for the 200th anniversary but it was wrecked by lockdown. cinderloo.com/2022/12/31/hau…
