We’re going into the heart of the village of Shawbury with this old postcard view. It shows Church Street with, rather naturally, the church at the end of it. On the far left is J Clowes grocery and provision stores.
This is a Wilding’s postcard. Wilding’s produced many such cards during the Edwardian era and this one would seem to be from about that date – in other words, about 100 years ago.
It was loaned to us by Diana Humphreys of Maesbrook.

Hello…Just wanted to say i was thrilled to see
this photo. My gran Kathleen Jones is on this photo.
Sadly she passed away last December 2007 aged 94.
Have found it hard to pick her out in the photo though if anyone can help.
Many thanks.
