Transport - Iron Bridge
It would be illuminating if mention of the first Ironbridge (sic), said to be built at Highley, could be dignified with (if citeably known) detail of who built it and when. (Obviously before 1779, the more iconic Ironbridge iron bridge having its bicentenary in 1979. No mention of any prototype appears in the Wikipedia article on Ironbridge itself.)Cloptonson (talk) 19:44, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

'Proposed' Steam Heritage Centre now realised?
I am uncertain how up to date the information is. Is the proposed 'Steam Heritage Centre' same as The Engine House, built by Highley station and opened 2008?Cloptonson (talk) 05:45, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Digressive paragraph removed (History section)
I have decided to relegate to this talk page this uncited paragraph about the filming of Lesley Whittle's kidnap/murder as there is nothing that explicitly connects the drama to Highley and does not contribute to the local history factor. (I do not live in Highley.) I retain in case there is information a user could add into a more germane article.

''in 1977 a feature film was made entitled 'The Black Panther'. The film is dark, unsensational, and accurately portrays the events leading up to Lesley's tragic death. Nielson is played by Donald Sumpter, and Lesley Whittle by Debbie Farrington. The film was widely banned by cinemas upon release, due to its violent content, and is available on DVD.''
