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.

21. Madeley, 1967
A glimpse of everyday life in Madeley in December 1967, as muddy roads met the changing landscape around Cuckoo Oak junction. The large building seen in the background has long since disappeared, making this a fascinating snapshot of a place that has evolved over the decades. Do you remember this view of Madeley, the buildings that once stood here, or the roads before the area was transformed? | Shropshire Star archive
22. Jackfield, 1967
A fascinating piece of Shropshire’s industrial and firefighting history emerged from a fire at Maw and Company’s tile works in Jackfield in December 1967. The blaze led to the discovery of an old Merryweather steam-powered fire engine, which had stood at the works for many years, and the historic appliance was donated to Shropshire Fire Brigade for restoration and future display. A reminder of the craftsmanship and technology of a bygone age - do you remember seeing this remarkable machine, or visiting fire stations where pieces of local history were proudly displayed? | Shropshire Star archive
23. Wem Royal British Legion Hall, 1967
A beautifully kept scene at Wem Royal British Legion Hall in August 1967, with the neatly trimmed grass hinting at a summer game of bowls or a community gathering taking place nearby. Such places were at the heart of village life, offering a space for friendships, celebrations and local activities. Do you remember spending time at the Legion Hall, taking part in bowls, or the community events that brought people together? | Shropshire Star archive
24. Dawley Development Corporation, 1967
A glimpse into the ambitious plans shaping the future of Dawley in January 1967, as adults attended a lecture on landscape conservation and new town planning. Dr Tom Pritchard of The Nature Conservancy is pictured explaining ideas to attendees at the Dawley Development Corporation’s exhibition room, as the area looked towards a changing future. These discussions formed part of the wider vision that would eventually help create Telford New Town. Do you remember the early days of Dawley’s transformation, or watching new roads, homes and communities appear across the landscape? | Shropshire Star archive
