We’ve talked about Pentons on here before,from Ruyton X1 Towns.When I asked about the X1 Towns the reply was a very interesting history lesson…which I’ve forgotten.
Maybe it was Dave Renegade who was the narrator of the lesson?

Ruyton-XI-Towns (pronounced /ËŒraɪtÉ™n ɨˈlÉ›vÉ™n taÊŠnz/[1] “ryetÉ™n eleven towns”), formally Ruyton of the Eleven Towns or simply Ruyton, is a large village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It has a population of around 1,500 people and lies on the River Perry. Nearby is the large village of Baschurch and to the north the smaller village of Wykey. grid reference SJ393221
The village acquired its unusual name in the twelfth century when a castle was built, and it became the major manor of eleven local townships. The Roman numeral for eleven is included in its name. Some of the eleven ancient townships, mostly situated to the north and west of Ruyton, still survive as hamlets today; although some, like Coton, are just a collection of farm buildings. The eleven were Ruyton, Coton, Shottaton, Shelvock, Eardiston and Wykey, which remain in the parish; and Felton, Haughton, Rednal, Sutton and Tedsmore, now in the parish of West Felton.
Lying in the Welsh Marches, the castle was destroyed in 1202, rebuilt by 1313 and destroyed again by Owain Glyndŵr. In 1308, an attempt was made to refound the town as New Ruyton. It was awarded a charter which briefly gave it the same status as the County of Bristol, but as raiding continued, it declined and lost most of its rights.
Notable buildings in the village include its parish church, part of which dates from the 1130s, and the gardens of Brownhill House.
The Preparatory school Packwood Haugh is near the village.
Thanks for the info Dave,I used to see Pentons regularly and always wondered about their address.They were regular visitors into Glass Glover Distribution at Maltby and their tackle was always on the impressive side I do recall.

It still looks pretty good these days Chris,even though some of their vehicles are older.I suppose doing reefer work they tend to keep them longer.
Cheers Dave.
