- Local newspaper week
This week’s pictures from the past

Thank you all! We are looking in on an evening meal and entertainment put on for newspaper boys and girls to thank them for their efforts in delivering papers in the cold winter of early 1963.
This was e-mailed to us by Phil Stringer, who was one of the young lads who kept the papers delivered.
Phil said: “I delivered Sunday papers for George Fawcett in Castle Foregate.
“My round was from the shop in Castle Foregate along St Michael’s Street going as far as the Midland Red garage.”
The invitation read: “The members of the Shrewsbury branch of the Retail Newsagents, Booksellers and Stationers invite you to attend The Music Hall, Shrewsbury, at 7pm, on Tuesday 12th March, 1963, as their guests for an evening meal and afterwards to a picture show and light entertainment, in appreciation of your loyalty to duty during the very inclement weather of recent weeks.”

i recall the woods family business’s in the 1950,s right up until the brewery industry of nowadays at the plough wistanstow.
in the 1950′s i recall the huge chukie chicken compex just north of craven arms, and a fleet of elderly buses for staff transport.
correct me if my memory is playing tricks but were there not a chain of j p woods green grocers shops. one was situated in high st. shrewsbury on the right near the ancient foresters office and way past the ladies fashion shop of feltons and the butchers charlie edwards probably on the left at the top of wyle cop. i know these names as i went to school with the felton boys and the son of charlie edwards who was chairman or on the board of shrewsbury town football club. all these memories are between 1949 and 1952
final memory is of my grandfathers hatters and hosiers shop in mardol, known as russell and roberts. on the right going down mardol.
many thanks for the memories
