Firefighters outside Trinity Hall, Coalbrookdale. It is undated - the 1950s perhaps. This is one of a number of pictures in an album in the possession of Paul France of Madeley. Paul said: “The photos came from a good friend of mine, Jeff Wheeldon, who lived in the area in the 1960s and 1970s. He knew of my interest in the history of the Gorge and gave me his collection when he moved to Seaton in Devon, where he still lives.”
