Cloake's Rurality Model tested - Shropshire IS rural !


The day dawned bright and sunny, for a while at least, as students prepared to assess socio-economic changes on a number of villages surrounding Shrewsbury. Groups were spread far and wide to measure and record everything that moved and to question everything that didn't! The visible population of Church Pulverbatch was more than doubled by the arrival of 6 KEGS students who eagerly quizzed the one resident who was prepared to brave the invasion. "It is USUALLY a quiet and peaceful little village" told us all we needed to know.
