Nostalgia round-up
Friday 24th October 2008, 8:00AM BST.
Here’s another picture of children of the old St Matthew’s School, Donnington Wood, who seem to be having some sort of outdoor music lesson. There is something missing – a view of the school itself. Paul Thompson, who e-mailed us this photo, is hoping somebody has got a picture which shows the long-demolished building. This photo is thought to be from about the 1930s. Anyone who has a picture of the school building can e-mail Paul, the archivist of St Matthew’s Church, Donnington Wood, at paulthompsonchurch@hotmail.co.uk

The Donnington Parade photo:.
the shop cut off by the photo was H.B Galliers the butchers & next door to that was Leedhams hardware shop & where the fish & chip shop is now used to be a launderette.
H.B Gallier had the best pork pies in Shropshire as far as I’m concerned.
Dad got a large pie every week & i can still remember the taste now.

I just love your ‘Nostalgia’ section, being in exile. When I was young I used to enjoy a drink at The George and The Raven Hotels in the middle of Shrewsbury. Has anyone got pictures? I am trawling through my photos.

Well J.K, Shropshire Lads are not what they used to be. A.E,Housman would turn in his grave. Even some I know born many years ago have lost the title.
