The 1990s was a decade of change across the county, with new developments, changing town centres and familiar landmarks going through moments of transformation. It was also a decade of community spirit, from school campaigns and village traditions to sporting celebrations and the excitement of welcoming the new millennium.
The Shropshire Star archives captured the big moments and everyday scenes that defined the decade - from royal visits and historic occasions to unusual news stories, busy high streets and the people who made headlines.
This collection of photographs offers a nostalgic glimpse of life across the county, with familiar places, faces and memories waiting to be rediscovered. See how many moments from the 1990s take you back and share your memories with us in the comments.
