| The
school which was marked on the map
in 1842 is still in operation. By the end of Queen Victoria's reign every
child attended the local school and had an education. (See the section on School life to find out more). |

 The
canal branch to Guilsfield was still
open at this time, but traffic on it had fallen considerably since the local
railway had opened.Most goods were carried on the railway and then distributed around the area by cart. The Guilsfield wharf was still open though, and no doubt the bargemen had a well earned drink at the Navigation Inn after unloading. |
