520 _a"History of Madeley" by John Randall is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the history of Madeley, including the neighboring areas of Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale, and Coalport, from its early days through to contemporary times. The book highlights significant events, inventions, and the evolution of local industries, painting a picture of the area's development over the centuries. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intent to document the rich history of Madeley and its transformations from feudal times to the present. Randall discusses the historical significance of names and geographical features, detailing early life in Madeley during Norman times and the socioeconomic changes that occurred over the years. He also mentions the dissolution of the monasteries and the subsequent changes in land ownership, setting the stage for deeper explorations into the area's historical narrative and the notable families that shaped its past.
