Pictures from the past

General view of Telford Town Centre in September 1986.
Telford town centre is seen here in September 1986, but there are already some familiar features in place, like the tall Darby House office block, just right of centre. The area in the foreground is still awaiting development, and beyond the town centre complex you can see green fields.
These were not to last long!

It always makes me sad to think of this pub having to be demolished. I was not born for a long time after it was replaced but I can’t help thinking what a landmark this would have been if it was still standing today. The replacement is not bad but could never match the original! At least the demolition was not the planners’ faults as was typical of the times…

the photo of the midland red bus is most interesting as i have a collection of 1950′s m/red buses taken mostly in town and at ditherington.
what interests me is the jumbo type wrecker and i wonder if it is an aec matador inside a midland red body and was it part of the bus fleet at ditherington and does anyone know the fleet number and reg. number please
