This week’s pictures from the past

Arthur Street, Montgomery - 1920s

We don’t get out much to Montgomery in this slot, so let’s have a trip there to visit Arthur Street as it was many years ago.

We don’t have the exact date but it may be about the 1920s at a guess. The pub is the Old Bell, a 16th century inn which has been converted into a local history museum by Montgomery Civic Society.

This picture came to us through Shrewsbury historian and author David Trumper, who was given it by Margaret McCleary after he gave a talk in Bomere Heath to the WI.

    No wonder Southam’s beer was so thin and yucky. But, we still kept drinking it in the ‘Fishes’. perhaps that is where the Pub got its name too!

    This picture makes me cry. I was a young lad who thought it so ‘posh’ to sit, having a pint in an armchair in the George, then pop down to the Raven, round the corner.
