This week’s Pictures from the Past

The franking date on this postcard showing Upper Church Street, Oswestry, is too faint to read, but the stamp depicts our current queen, so it must have been sent some time after 1952. However, the view itself looks rather earlier – no doubt a transport expert would be able to use the vehicle on the right as a dating clue. On the corner is
J Owen family butcher and the Coach & Dogs tea rooms (according to the signs). The hanging sign on the extreme right reads “A Walker House”.

The Coach and Dogs did wonderful toasted tea cakes. It was a lovely place to have coffee and very sad when it closed down. The pub on the right was the Sun Inn, now a restaurant. The trees in the churchyard were felled in the early 1960′s.
