This week’s pictures from the past

Naturally we endeavour to bring you all the moos fit to print . . . We’re going back about 100 years for this view of Pool Quay, near Welshpool.
On close inspection, this might be a bull taking a dip, rather than a cow.
There are some interesting features in the background – the track leading down to the river, seen above the beast, and what looks like a sort of wooden latticework on the right. A fish trap perhaps?

I love pictures from the past and I was wondering if you could print a picture which appeared in the Shropshire Star in July 1969. It made the front page and it was myself (then Denise Waddington) and two friends in the shirehall ornamental pool. I remember it was a particularly hot day and we ended up in the water with all our clothes on. I would love a copy of this photgraph as mine seems to have been mislaid. Thank you
