A researcher at Harper Adams University is carrying out experiments to see if a wax from cauliflower leaves could help farmers grow peanuts in harsh conditions.

The university has already had success using the wax to help wheat and oil seed rape to grow in dry weather, by improving their water retention and Kelly Racette has come over from Virginia in the USA to see if it can be applied to peanuts too.

She is one of two students from the University of Florida carrying out the experiments on peanuts and she hopes to carry out full-scale field trials in Shropshire next year.

The Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst says the uncertainty over their League One future could make transfer discussions difficult.

He said some players won't be keen on joining his side if they are relegated and that meant there was a "waiting game" until they know which division they'll be in next season.

Hurst said he isn't worried by this uncertainty though, having experienced similar uncertainty when his Grimsby Town team was involved in the end-of-season play-offs.

A 17th Century tree house, which Queen Victoria stayed in, is one of the most eye-catching features at Pitchford Hall and the owners believe it has a claim to be the oldest in the world.

It is first mentioned in records from 1692 and James and Rowena Mason believe it could date back as far as the 1650s.

The treehouse sits in a large leaved lime tree and is built in the same style as the nearby hall, which is undergoing repair work.

Shrewsbury Town won't be benefiting from Brighton's promotion to the Premier League, despite a promotion clause in the Connor Goldson transfer deal.

The deal, which took the defender to the south coast, entitled Shrewsbury to more money if Brighton went up from the Championship, but he hasn't played enough games to activate the clause.

Goldson has missed time with a heart problem, but there are other clauses in the deal which could still benefit Shrewsbury, further down the line.

The owners of Pitchford Hall say they want it to be repaired and open as a tourist attraction by Christmas. 

Rowena Mason's family had lived there for five centuries, but were forced to sell it in 1992 - now she has bought it back with her husband James.

The previous owner never moved in and after lying empty for a quarter of a century, the Tudor mansion near Acton Burnell fell into disrepair.

A fundraising appeal has been launched by the Telford Steam Railway, to repair damage done by vandals last week.

It says more than £5,000 will be needed to replace the smashed windows and they weren't insured, because the cost of covering their locomotives and carriages was too high.

The charity, which is run by volunteers, said it decided to set up the Crowdfunding page, external after getting enquiries from visitors.

It is offering rewards to people who pledge over £20.

Shrewsbury Town are still working to find a new stadium and shirt sponsor for next season and that will probably mean a delay to the launch of the new kit.

The club had hoped to sell the replica shirts, with the new sponsor, in the club shop this weekend, for the final home game of the season.

Shrewsbury's chief executive Brian Caldwell said talks were still ongoing with a number of interested parties and that until they were concluded, the new shirts can't go on sale.
