Pictures from the Past – June 5, 2010

Here is an early 1900s postcard of a village shop, possibly in Newcastle-on-Clun – we’re not entirely sure. It was posted to Miss M Richards, of Riddings Farm, Bettws-y-Crwyn. The signs by door are for Colman’s Starch and Colman’s Mustard and what looks like Campbell’s Cleaners Perth. The picture was loaned by Jan Cockerill, of Wellington, whose great-grandparents were the Pugh and Morris families, who lived in the Clun and Bettws-y-Crwyn areas.

Although this postcard showing The Cross Keys Hotel at Selattyn was franked at Oswestry on June 24, 1931, the view looks very much older – probably Edwardian. The message on the card was: “Church View, Selattyn. A PC to let you know I have arrived safely. Had a very good journey, got here 5.30. Love Edith”. It was posted to Master Sydney Coley, of Bramcote House, Nuneaton. Picture: Ray Farlow
