This week’s pictures from the past

You’ll not recognise this view as being anywhere in Shropshire, but there is a strong Shropshire connection.
This is the spot, as the sign tells us, that Dawley-born Captain Matthew Webb was killed, trying to swim the rapids below Niagara Falls. The photo is dated October 17, 1969. Does anyone know if the notice is still there today?
