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.

13. Shirehall, Shrewsbury, 1967
A historic moment at Shrewsbury’s Shirehall in January 1967 as the first Shropshire Assizes were held in the building’s new court. Mr Justice Nield, the first Judge of Assize to sit there, is pictured entering the Shirehall after being welcomed by the High Sheriff, Sir John Corbet, who presented him with a book on Shropshire. Do you remember when the Shirehall was at the heart of the county’s legal life, or perhaps attending the building for other events over the years? | Shropshire Star archive
14. Claverley vicarage, 1967
A peaceful glimpse of Claverley Vicarage in July 1967, capturing a familiar corner of village life from more than half a century ago. The vicarage would have been an important part of the community, linked with generations of local families and village events. Do you remember this view of Claverley, or the people and places that made the village special back then? | Shropshire Star archive
15. Tweedale Industrial Estate, 1967
A snapshot of change and ambition at Tweedale Industrial Estate in May 1967, as the foundations of what would become part of the Telford story were taking shape. Work on the estate began in 1965, marking the official start of development for Dawley New Town, before the vision expanded into the creation of Telford New Town in 1968. Do you remember watching this area grow, or the arrival of new factories, roads and communities that transformed the landscape? | Shropshire Star archive
16. GKN Sankeys, Hadley, 1967
A glimpse inside Sankeys Works at Hadley in 1967, as apprentices learned the skills that would shape their working lives. Here, young trainees are pictured receiving oxy-acetylene welding instruction from Mr C R Churm - a reminder of the craftsmanship, patience and hands-on training that were once such an important part of industry. Do you remember starting an apprenticeship, working at Sankeys, or learning a trade from someone who inspired you? | Shropshire Star archive
