In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Eardington like this:
EARDINGTON, a township, with a r. station, in Quatford parish, Salop; on the Severn river and the Severn Valley railway, 1-½ mile S of Bridgnorth. Acres, 1, 301. Real property, £5, 876; of which £100 are in quarries, £100 in mines, and £120 in iron-works. Pop., 370. Houses, 76. A stoppage of coal and brickworks here occasioned a decrease of about one-fourth of the population between 1851 and 1861.
