This week’s pictures from the past

Eyesore or beauty spot? This picture of Dothill Pool, Wellington, was taken on April 24, 1970. The caption was: “Wellington traders think nature shows one of her less lovely faces at the Dothill pools.
Wrekin Angling Society was indignant because it thought Wellington Chamber of Commerce wanted them filled in, but the chamber said it was merely passing a verdict on the look of the pools when it called them “eyesores”.

Patrick,
Thank you so much for e mailing in the picture of your mother and father outside number 10.I have many memories of shop number 1 on Market ST, Trevor from Clun-is he still going strong-the sight of bananas on display in the window after WW11,the ice used for packing fish in a pile melting on the street- so I could go on.
