  Census figures for the area  
  The population of the Upper Severn Valley changed throughout the Victorian period as industries did well or faded and people moved about to earn a living. Information about the local population was recorded in the censuses which were taken every ten years. Men were employed to travel round the district recording who lived in which house and what they did. The population figures are taken from these records.
