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.

17. Market Street, Oakengates, 1967
A quiet moment in Market Street, Oakengates, captured in December 1967. With little traffic and a calm atmosphere, this peaceful street scene offers a glimpse of everyday life before the pace of modern town centres changed. Do you remember Market Street as it looked back then, the shops that lined the road, or the familiar faces you would see while out and about? | Shropshire Star archive
18. Wrekin College, Wellington, 1967
A special moment at Wrekin College, Wellington, in March 1967 as head boy David Franklin and headmaster Mr R H Dahl proudly show a handmade cricket bat destined for a royal gift. The bat was to be presented to the Queen for Prince Andrew, with keen cricketer David chosen for the honour. A lovely reminder of school days, sporting traditions and the pride that came with representing your school - do you remember taking part in school teams, or the teachers and friends who made those years memorable? | Shropshire Star
19. New Street, Wellington, 1967
A familiar Wellington street scene from April 1967, with New Street looking much as it would have been known to generations of local shoppers. G H York & Co paints can be seen among the businesses lining the road, offering a glimpse of the independent shops and trades that helped give town centres their character. Do you remember visiting New Street, or the shops and businesses that once made up the heart of Wellington? | Shropshire Star archive
20. Trench, 1967
A new era of convenience shopping arrived in Trench in September 1967 with the opening of the Spar Foodliner in Stanmore Drive. The 3,000 sq ft supermarket promised "one stop shopping at its most modern", with a very unusual special guest planned for the opening - Brooke Bond TV chimp Freddie. However, it appears Judy the chimp ended up taking centre stage instead! A wonderful reminder of the colourful promotions and characters that once accompanied new shop openings. Do you remember visiting the Spar Foodliner, or the excitement when a new supermarket came to your area? | Shropshire Star archive
