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.

5. Sheinton Street, Much Wenlock, 1967
A dramatic scene in Much Wenlock in May 1967 as a lorry ended up embedded in a cottage on Sheinton Street. Curious onlookers gathered to see the unusual sight, watching with folded arms as the damage was assessed. Moments like this would have quickly become the talk of the town - do you remember hearing about this incident, or the cottage and street as they looked back then? | Shropshire Star archive
6. Shrewsbury, 1967
A royal welcome for Shrewsbury in 1967 as the Queen’s cavalcade made its way through the town on March 17. Crowds lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty - do you remember where you stood to watch royal visits like this, or perhaps being part of the crowd that day? | Shropshire Star archive
7. Alveley, 1967
A fascinating glimpse of Alveley as it looked in 1967, looking towards the village church. Shared by Margaret Sheridan, this view captures a familiar scene before change swept through the village. The Three Horseshoes pub can be seen on the left, while opposite stood Grove House, a much-loved landmark that was sadly demolished later that year as part of a modernisation programme. Do you remember Grove House, or how this part of Alveley looked before the changes began? | Picture: Margaret Sheridan
8. Market Drayton’s livestock market, 1967
A glimpse of Market Drayton’s livestock market, believed to date from around 1967. PC G Lewis is pictured with Mr Peter Denne and Mr R Ingham in a scene that reflects the important role livestock markets played in everyday life across Shropshire. Do you remember visiting Market Drayton market, the bustle of sale days, and the familiar faces who gathered there? | Shropshire Star archive
