A party of Asian and English people went to Chester Zoo, leaving from Hadley and Wellington on August 5, 1971, according to the caption to this picture – actually, the picture used in the Shropshire Star was of them on the bus, so perhaps this photo has never been used.

The caption said the trip was organised by the Community Council of Shropshire, Shropshire Committee Against Racialism, and Community Service Volunteer Mark Goyder.
