The singer, musician and writer Jerry Lordan has been nominated to receive a blue plaque on a building in Bishop's Castle as part of a BBC Music Day project. 

Lordan wrote The Shadows' hit Apache among others.  

The latest set of plaques will mark places or people who have made a significant contribution to music.  

The shortlist also includes Terry Heath's Town House in Wellington and has been submitted to a national panel, chaired by Mike Read who will issue new plaques in June.

Telford Tigers beat Sheffield Steeldogs 8-3 in the EPL play-offs last night. 

The impressive victory in Sheffield means the Tigers remain in contention for a place at the league's finals tournament next month. 

Five goals in the opening 20 minutes took the game away from Sheffield a day after Tigers' 7-0 thrashing of Peterborough. 

The EPL champions now play Guildford Flames in Surrey on Wednesday.

The Bloodhound is hoping to smash through the 1,000mph barrier later this year and it's spending this week at Telford College of Arts and Technology. 

There will be workshops and engineering challenges for students from the college and nearby schools as well as a visit from the project director on Tuesday.

Three fifths of women who breastfeed their babies in Telford and Wrekin have given up after two months. 

Figures from Public Health England say the same is true for more than half of women in Shropshire. Two months is just a third of the time recommended by experts. 

The organisation's Start 4 Life campaign says breastfeeding helps children fight infections early in life. Part of it is an interactive website designed to help new mums through their first weeks of breastfeeding.
