This week’s Pictures from the Past
Friday 10th April 2009, 9:00AM BST.
The caption with this photo when we originally used it on July 24, 1969, told the story: “Three Shrewsbury teenagers went in at the deep end yesterday as the temperature climbed.
“Having watched many youngsters stealing a swim in the Shirehall ornamental pool, the girls crept nearer and nearer. Suddenly they were hit by a diverted fountain and were drenched, so in they went. Jo Showell, Denise Waddington and Bridget Cooper arrived home soaking wet.” Denise Waddington is, these days, Denise Smith.
