Shropshire (pronounced /ˈʃrɒpʃɪə/, /-ʃə/), alternatively known as Salop[6] or abbreviated, in print only, Shrops,[7] is a county in the West Midlands region of England. It borders Wales to the west. Shropshire is one of England's most rural and sparsely populated counties,[8] with the population of the non-metropolitan/shire county 289,100 - making it the least populated two-tier governed area in the United Kingdom. The shire county and its districts will be replaced with a unitary authority on 1st April 2009. The borough of Telford and Wrekin, included in Shropshire for ceremonial purposes, has been a unitary authority since 1998.[9] The county town is Shrewsbury, which is culturally and historically important,[10] although Telford, which was constructed around a number of older towns, most notably Wellington, Dawley and Madeley, is today the most populous.[11] Other notable towns are Oswestry in the north-west, Bridgnorth in the south-east and Ludlow to the south. The Ironbridge Gorge area is advertised as the 'Birthplace of Industry'[12], and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covering Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale and a part of Madeley.[13] There are additionally other notable historic industrial sites located around the county such as Broseley, Snailbeach and Highley as well as the Shropshire Union Canal.[14] The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers about a quarter of the county, mainly in the south.[15] The Wrekin is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the county,[16] though the highest hills are the Clee Hills,[17] Stiperstones[18] and the Long Mynd.[19] Wenlock Edge is another significant geographical and geological landmark,[20] and the River Severn, Great Britain's longest river, runs through the county. Shropshire is landlocked, and with an area of 1,346 square miles (3,490 km2), is England's largest inland county.[21]
Plasterwork is one of the most ancient of building techniques. Evidence shows that the dwellings of primitive man were erected in a simple fashion with sticks and plastered with mud. The pyramids in Egypt contain plasterwork executed at least four thousand years ago, probably much earlier, and yet hard and durable, at the present time. From recent discoveries it has been ascertained that the tools of the plasterer of that time were practically identical in design, shape and purpose with those used today. For their finest work, the Egyptians used a plaster made from calcined gypsum just like plaster of Paris of the present time, and their methods of plastering on reeds resemble in every way our lath, plaster, float and set work. Hair was introduced to strengthen the material, and the whole finished somewhat under an inch thick.
