Pictures From The Archive – April 10

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

Published Apr 10, 2020

The last days of Alberbury's village school. This print from our archive was taken on August 27, 1964, and handwritten on the back is: "Alberbury School, which is due to close – villagers petitioning against this." Their objections did not bear fruit, as Alberbury School closed in 1965 – according to one former pupil the exact date was April 9 that year. The building is still there today, albeit a little modified.
