This week’s pictures from the past
Friday 23rd January 2009, 10:41AM GMT.
While other buildings come and go, or get vastly changed in their appearance over the years, churches tend to remain much the same over the generations.
So somebody who saw St Peter’s Church, Wrockwardine, at the time this postcard was franked at Wellington on January 21, 1914, would have no difficulty whatsoever recognising the same building today.
The postcard message was: “Dear ones I got back very well, all pleased though surprised to see me. Hope you will all have a better night. Shall be glad to have a card. Much love to you all ever from mother (? this last word is difficult to read) your loving sister. EE.” (? this is difficult to make out). It was posted to Miss L Haynes, 18 Doseley, Dawley.
