Roman

The present Shrewsbury to Westbury road is thought to follow the alignment of a Roman road from Wroxeter to forts at Forden, Gaer and Caersws. A piece of lead was found with markings of the name of the Roman Emperor Aurelian in 1848.

Middle Ages

Westbury is recorded in the Domesday Book as the property of Roger Fitz Corbet who held it on behalf of the Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery. After the Norman Conquest, the manor was held by the barony of Caus until the end of feudal tenures.

18th and 19th Century

The road to Asterley originated as a field road to the Common Wood of Hinwood, but became of some importance in the 18th century when used by coal wagons from the Asterley Mines. In the Middle Ages the road which passes through Vennington and along the crest of the Long Mountain was the principal route between Shrewsbury and Newtown. In 1831 the dominating occupation was working in agriculture and farming.
