In 1540 the topographer John Leland, visiting Ludlow on his itinerary
of the principal towns of England described Broad Street as 'the
fayrest part of the town.' In 1946 Chrstopher Hussey wrote of Broad
Street in Country Life 'There is no more beautiful street in
England,' and likewise Nickolaus Pevsner concurred, rating the street
as 'one of the most memorable streets in England.'
This publication, thoroughly researched by David Lloyd, studies the
history of the various properties which stand on Broad Street, and the
residents who occupied them. Moreover Mr Lloyd goes further than what
the eye can see today by examining the plots which the buildings stand
on and identifying the residents who lived on the plots back into the
thirteenth century.
