journalist under pen-name "Toby, M.P.", was chief reporter at the Chronicle in 1864. Shropshire author Mary Webb's first published work was a five-verse poem carried by the paper, written on hearing news of the Shrewsbury rail accident in 1907. Her brother gave it to the Chronicle without telling Webb, and the paper printed it anonymously. Fyfe Robertson, the Scots broadcaster, was briefly a trainee reporter with the Chronicle in 1921.
