And now we just watch it on the telly... The announcement of an election result in Wellington which drew huge crowds, including a youngster perched precariously on a ledge. We are not sure which particular election it was but would guesstimate the date around 1930. Picture: Peter Dickinson.

Some of the lines are rather overgrown in this view at Wellington railway station. The parish church is on the right. The picture comes from Paul France of Madeley but came originally from the late Peter Hayward, a local professional photographer who was a rail buff. We are not sure of the date of the photo.

"Goods yard, Abbey Foregate" is written on the back of this print among the family mementos of Mrs Dilys Martin, of Pool Rise, Shrewsbury. These are Shrewsbury railway workers, of which her grandfather William Clayton was one. The photo is undated, but the fashion for luxuriant moustaches may point to it being before World War One sometime.

Today is the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. This photo was originally loaned to us at the time of the 60th anniversary by Mrs Marjorie Macdonald of Shrewsbury, whose husband Charles Macdonald, who was in the Royal Signals, is second from left. It was taken in the main street of Cruelly, Normandy, soon after D-Day. The local people are on their way to mass.

Here's something a bit different - it's the long-disappeared Wellington market hall imposed on a modern viewto show what it might have looked like. The image has been created by historian Allan Frost who is giving a Wellington History Group talk titled "600 Years of Crimes and Punishments" at 7.30pm on June 21 in Wellington Library. The relevance to the talk is that he says the upper floor was a court house for a while. "We know the building was there in the 1620s and we know that it was demolished in about 1805," he said.

Vote for me! In June 1987 pupils and staff at the John Hunt School in Trench held their own election with the results being announced nationwide on John Craven's Newsround television programme. The candidates were, from left, John Wood (John Hunt School Party), Graham Firmston (Labour), Tina Williams (Conservative), Marie Hickinbotham (Improvement Party), and Robert Minton (Alliance.). We'd tell you who won... but we don't know.

Voted the most popular boy by his colleagues at the 2nd Oakengates Company Boys' Brigade, Corporal Derek Elliot proudly shows his trophy to some of the younger lads. It was presented at the brigade's 18th annual parade in the Congregational Church on May 28, 1965. The boys were inspected by Alex Rennie, Assistant Chief Constable of Shropshire.
