This week’s Pictures from the Past

Shropshire is blessed with one of the most beautiful canals in the country, which snakes its way through attractive countryside into Wales.
This postcard showing the canal at St Martins was franked on September 2, 1963. That bridge looks almost brand new, doesn’t it?
The picture was loaned by our regular contributor Ray Farlow who, incidentally, has a book out showcasing his postcards which feature Oswestry and the surrounding area.
