Star’s front row seat for sporting history
- Local newspaper week
This week’s pictures from the past
Friday 23rd January 2009, 10:41AM GMT.
This undated picture e-mailed in by our regular contributor Paul France shows the Railway Tavern pub in High Street, Ironbridge.
It is undated but maybe there’s somebody out there who can narrow it down by the information that the licensee at the time was, as shown by the name above the door, one Hannah Owen who is presumably the lady in the doorway.
Paul says: “Gadsby’s music shop was to the left of this pub at the top of the High Street in Ironbridge. I don’t know if there’s a family connection with the Owen family who kept the Robin Hood for many years.”
He did a bit of on-the-spot research to see if the building is still there. “I popped into Ironbridge with a copy of the photo to check against existing buildings. Sadly it is no longer there. Another building destroyed in the name of progress.”
