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.

10. Bridgnorth Rural District Council, 1967
A glimpse inside local government in 1967 as the offices of Bridgnorth Rural District Council were captured on March 18. The new Westgate extension brought extra office space, while plans were also in place for a civil defence sub-control centre beneath the building. These offices would later become home to Bridgnorth District Council - do you remember visiting here, or seeing how the town’s local services were run in years gone by? | Shropshire Star archive

11. Oakengates, 1967
A new chapter for shopping in Oakengates began in June 1967 as Miss Jean Morton from ATV’s popular Tingha and Tucker programme officially opened the new Co-op supermarket at Unity House. The arrival of a modern supermarket would have been a big moment for local shoppers – do you remember visiting the Co-op, and the familiar sights and sounds of shopping there? | Shropshire Star archive

12. Ironbridge Power Station, 1967
A glimpse of Ironbridge Power Station in November 1967, showing the administration and amenity building at the site. Once a major part of the industrial landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge, the power station would go on to become a familiar landmark for generations living nearby.
