Pictures from the Past

Enjoy this classic rural scene from the Shropshire borders over 70 years ago.
A blacksmith is shoeing a horse, while a gentleman seated on a milk churn watches proceedings with interest. This picture was taken at Middletown in 1938, and shows the local blacksmith’s shop.
The picture was loaned to us by Sally Anne Richards.
