This week’s pictures from the past

This picture was carried with a story on or about July 3, 1968 which read: The Morris family, at Nordley, near Bridgnorth, live in fear that their “hovel” home will fall in around them. Mr Stanley Morris, 37, and his wife, Nancy, fear for their safety and their four sons.

They live in a row of 200-year-old cottages in Astley Abbotts, where Bridgnorth Rural District Council is restoring a schoolhouse to house a family of gipsies.

“Shouldn’t the council have first looked after the people in the parish before providing accommodation for outsiders?” said Mrs Morris.
