Nostalgia gallery – week ending June 26, 2010

"The dual carriageway at Aqueduct, near Madeley, on the main Wellington  Bridgnorth road," read the original caption to this picture, which dates from March 19, 1963. Dual carriageways would have been considered rather modern at the time, but why this stretch was considered a dual carriageway is puzzling, as it looks to be simply two single carriageways that are separated by a central reservation.

Dawley History Festival began on Saturday and runs to June 27, so let's make a little contribution with this view of the town. It's not the most flattering contribution, we grant you, showing one of Dawley's pit mounds in January 1965. Dawley had been newly designated as a new town and the expectation was spoil mounds like these would all be cleared away. We don't know exactly where in Dawley that this particular pit mound was (or maybe, still is).
