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.

41. Bishop's Castle, 1967
A proud tradition draws to a close in Bishop's Castle in March 1967, as the Mayor and Corporation make their final ceremonial march to church before the borough was merged with Clun Rural District Council the following month. Captured on the town's historic streets, this procession marked the end of an era in Bishop's Castle's civic history. Do you remember these civic parades, or the traditions that once brought the whole town together? | Shropshire Star archive

42. Bridgnorth, 1967
A memorable moment in Bridgnorth in May 1967 as a Wolverhampton Corporation double-decker bus found itself stuck beneath the Town Hall. The unusual incident drew attention as crews worked to free the bus, eventually lowering the tyres to release it with little damage. It must have been quite a sight for those passing by - do you remember hearing about this mishap, or seeing buses like this travelling through Bridgnorth? | Shropshire Star archive

43. Wombridge, Priory Road, 1967
A changing landscape in Wombridge, captured in January 1967, as new homes take shape around Priory Road. With building work still under way, this photograph records a community growing before residents moved in and made the streets their own. Do you remember watching new estates being built, or perhaps moving into one of these homes as Wombridge and the surrounding area expanded? | Shropshire Star archive

44. Hills Lane Community Centre, 1967
Election day at Hills Lane in May 1967, as voters made their way to the community centre, which was serving as a polling station. With a queue just visible outside, it's a reminder of a time when neighbours gathered to cast their votes in person and local elections brought a real sense of occasion. Do you remember voting here, or recognise the familiar community buildings that played such an important role in everyday life? | Shropshire Star archive
