The Giant and the Wrekin: A Tale of Persuasion and Resilience from Shrewsbury's Past This evocative image captures the moment of triumph and relief in the quaint English town of Shrewsbury, as a giant, weary and disheartened, dumps his damming materials at the foot of The Wrekin, a prominent local landmark. The legend of the Giant and the Wrekin is a cherished part of Shrewsbury's rich history, recounting the tale of a giant's ill-fated attempt to flood the town by damming the Severn River. The giant, with an insurmountable load of rocks and earth, had set out to create a dam that would submerge the picturesque town of Shrewsbury. The townspeople, fearing for their homes and livelihoods, braced themselves for the impending disaster. However, as the giant approached The Wrekin, a local cobbler named Dick Whittington, renowned for his quick wit and persuasive abilities, intercepted him. Dick, with a map in hand, showed the giant the true extent of the distance to Shrewsbury from their current location at The Wrekin. The giant, taken aback by the enormity of the journey, realized the futility of his endeavor and decided to abandon his plan. With a heavy heart, he dumped his load at the foot of The Wrekin, creating the distinctive hill that now stands as a testament to the power of persuasion and the resilience of the human spirit. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era when myth and reality intertwined, and the power of a single conversation could change the course of history. The Wrekin, a beloved landmark in Shrewsbury, continues to inspire awe and wonder, as it stands as a reminder of the town's unique history and the power of a good argument.
