26. Sheinton Street, Much Wenlock, 1930s
A timeless view of Sheinton Street in Much Wenlock, capturing a quiet street scene framed by the presence of Wenlock church. Taken from a “Souvenir Portfolio of Local Views” and thought to pre-date the removal of the church spire in late summer 1930, the image preserves a moment just before the skyline of the town was altered. | Picture courtesy of Derrick Pountney
