SEPTEMBER 12.

We called on Dr. Adams,[1238] and travelled towards Worcester, through

Wenlock; a very mean place, though a borough. At noon, we came to

Bridgenorth, and walked about the town, of which one part stands on a

high rock; and part very low, by the river. There is an old tower,

which, being crooked, leans so much, that it is frightful to pass by it.

In the afternoon we came through Kinver, a town in Staffordshire; neat

and closely built. I believe it has only one street.

The road was so steep and miry, that we were forced to stop at

Hartlebury, where we had a very neat inn, though it made a very poor

appearance.
