This week’s pictures from the past
Saturday 2nd May 2009, 1:00PM BST.
Here are some Shropshire beauty queens at Shrewsbury Castle 45 years ago. In the foreground, with blonde hair and wearing an impressive robe, is Miss Shropshire 1964 Joan Taylor. The other ladies will be local beauty queens who were also contestants for the Shropshire title. From left, front, we have Miss Rushbury (? – it’s difficult to read the sash), Miss Sansaw, Miss Whitchurch, Miss Shropshire, Miss Hadley (? – again, we can’t quite read the sash), and Miss Diddlebury.
The picture was loaned to us by Joan, who is now Mrs Joan Sandford.
