I expect you can find loads of info by googling. Here's what the Genuki page says: 'LUDLOW, a parish, market town, municipal and parliamentary borough, locally in the hundred of Munslow, county Salop, 10 miles from Leominster, 25 S.E. of Shrewsbury, and 143 N.W. by N. of London. It has a station on the Shrewsbury and Hereford railway. It is situated on a commanding eminence on the southern border of the county, close to Herefordshire, and in the fertile vale of the Teme, which is here joined by the river Corve. It is a place of great antiquity, having taken its rise in a Roman settlement, and was called by the Welsh Dinan Llys Tywysog, signifying 'the prince's palace', and afterwards, by the Saxons, Leadlowe.' [Description(s) from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003] When I visited Ludlow in 1980s it was very attractive, with lots of old buildings. nell
