Billy Wright

In 1998 the plaque to commemorate the footballer was unveiled at his Ironbridge birthplace by his widow, Beverley sister Joy Beverley-Wright.

She was joined by her twin sisters and her grandchildren to unveil the plaque, which was cast by the Coalbrookdale Company.

Mrs Beverley-Wright had contacted The Gorge Parish Council in early 1998 asking for a monument to be placed at his birthplace.

All prospective visitors must register with Nick Tart estate agents in Ironbridge on (01952) 433422.
