Pictures from the Past – March 19

Friday 18th March 2011, 8:33AM GMT.

Spring is in the air, so more and more people are going to be enjoying a trip to Church Stretton and its well-known beauty spot, the Carding Mill Valley. But we're going back in time with this view of "W.E.G. Pearce & Co's Hotel & Cafe" which must have served many a welcome cuppa to visitors over the years. Look carefully and you can see some people in the doorway, and to the right the nose of a car is just poking out. It looks like it may be a 1930s model, which gives an idea of the era of this undated photo. Picture: Ray Farlow.

Some extras relax during the filming of Gone To Earth in Much Wenlock in 1949. This picture was dug out by Mr Pat Tranter, of Bridgnorth. At the back, standing second from right, is his father Percy Tranter, in some sort of uniform. "I presume he was an extra," says Pat, who knows nothing more and has never seen the film. "It must have been at Much Wenlock on the set."
