Pictures From The Past – July 19

Welcome to this week's collection of nostalgia photos from the pages of the Shropshire Star.

Published Jul 19, 2019

Here's a slice of disappeared Oakengates. This picture is from an album compiled by Mrs Maria Bright, nee Willis, of Ercall Gardens, Wellington, and shows "Aunty Doreen and Uncle Brian near the dirt road at the entrance to the Foundry Yard." Foundry Yard was Maria's birthplace and she says it is now the site of a snooker centre. The photo is perhaps from the late 1930s or early 1940s. Brian was the youngest brother of Maria's mother, Audrey Harper before marriage.
