Step back almost 60 years and discover Shropshire as it looked in 1967 - a year of change, community and everyday moments that tell the story of a county finding its place in a new era.
From royal visits and civic traditions to quiet high streets, new housing developments and the changing face of industry, these archive photographs capture the people, places and scenes that shaped life across Shropshire.
See the excitement of royal occasions in Shrewsbury and Oswestry, the final days of familiar industries, the arrival of new schools and supermarkets, and the simple moments that made up everyday life - from village gatherings to snowy post rounds.
There are glimpses of a county in transition too, with new towns taking shape, old traditions making way for the future and communities adapting to a changing world.

1. Church Stretton High Street, 1967
A peaceful scene from Church Stretton High Street in May 1967, when the pace of life seemed a little slower. Parked cars line the street, while a child on a bicycle adds a lovely everyday touch to this snapshot of village life. Do you remember cycling around the town as a child, or the familiar shops and faces that made up the High Street back then? | Shropshire Star archive
2. Shrewsbury Railway Station, 1967
A piece of railway history at Shrewsbury station in March 1967 as Stanier 5MT Class No. 44917 stands ready after hauling the 15.31 service from Chester to Paddington. This was the last British Rail steam train scheduled to average more than 60mph, marking the end of an era as steam power was replaced by a new generation of trains. Do you remember the sight and sound of steam locomotives arriving at Shrewsbury station, or travelling behind one on journeys across the county? | Shropshire Star archive
3. Ditton Priors Stores Depot, 1967
A fascinating glimpse inside Ditton Priors Stores Depot in February 1967, as 21-year-old Angela Robins became one of the first civilian employees to sign on following the US Army’s takeover of the site. This moment shows the changing role of a place that had been part of the area’s story for many years. Do you remember the depot, the people who worked there, or the role it played in the local community? | Shropshire Star archive
4. Dawley High Street, 1967
Dawley High Street was a hive of activity in April 1967 as road works got under way to resurface the main shopping street. The closure caused frustration among traders, shoppers and councillors, with concerns that four weeks was too long for such an important route to be closed. Do you remember navigating around road works like these, or the shops and businesses that once lined Dawley High Street? | Shropshire Star archive
