This week’s pictures from the past

Here’s an atmospheric shot of the River Severn at Bridgnorth as seen in a postcard franked on July 29, 1916. The writing on the boat is “Boats Taken Care of Here. Darley’s.”

The writing on the boat on the other side of the river is just visible, showing it to be a Corfield Pleasure Boat. This postcard shows that folk in years gone by really knew how to use the river as a leisure asset.  

Picture: Ray Farlow.
