Star’s front row seat for sporting history
- Local newspaper week
This week’s pictures from the past
Friday 28th November 2008, 12:35AM GMT.

Many of the photos we use in Pictures From The Past depict scenes which are outside living memory, but this certainly doesn’t come into that category – well, not for most of our readers, anyway.
The site, on the right of the picture, is now Morrisons supermarket car park.
The photo is originally from Sue and David Beechey, of Pontesbury, who gave it to Shrewsbury historian and author David Trumper.
