Pictures from the past – November 4

The West End Cinema, Park Street, Madeley, is all decked out in celebration of the Coronation in 1937. Under high magnification you can read the word ‘Coronation’ and the date 1937 on the two shield-like decorations either side of the circular window. Films The films advertised on the brick pillars are ‘Mary Burns, Fugitive’, and ‘Keeper of the Bees’ which, according to the internet, are both 1935 films, maybe they just took a little while to get to Madeley. The cinema had previously been called The Parkhurst. This picture is from Frank Boden who lives in Shifnal. It came to him from Michael Stead, of Donnington, whose parents were originally from the Madeley area.

back to story
Just over 100 years ago one H.F. Hardwick had a wonderful jaunt to Church Stretton in this motor during a visit to Chilton Grove, Atcham, where this photo was taken. We know that because of the message on the back of this postcard, which was franked at Malvern on June 10, 1910, and posted to Mr W. Godbold, of Grove Farm, Rendham, Saxmundham, Suffolk. “What do you think of this?” reads the message. “We had a lovely time at Chilton. They were all very fit & well there & Mr Cecil took me over in his car to Church Stretton to play golf. We go to Stableford again Tuesday. Yrs, H.F. Hardwick, Malvern.” Perhaps it is Mr Cecil standing by the car. Picture courtesy of Ray Farlow of Bridgnorth
