Buy your favourite Star photos at the click of a mouse

Every week, the Shropshire Star takes hundreds of pictures, ranging from royal and ministerial visits to flower shows and church fetes, and now anybody with a computer will be able to view these images.

The new website photosforsale.shropshirestar.com will be updated daily, allowing people to view selected pictures which have appeared in the Shropshire Star and its sister papers.

Photographs will appear in the gallery the next working day after publication.

As well as the ones featured in the newspaper, people will be able to see other pictures which have been taken at the same time, so the new website will offer a truly unrivalled service when it comes to capturing those big moments.

There will be special galleries for news and sport photographs, but there will also be designated areas for aerial shots and seasonal pictures.

For those who love a bit of nostalgia, there will also be plenty of images from the Shropshire Star's popular Pictures from the Past series. Images from the time of the newspaper's birth right the way through to the 1980s are all featured – from Shrewsbury to Ludlow and Telford to Oswestry and, of course, all of the areas in between.

People wishing to purchase the photographs can choose from a number of print sizes, with prices starting at £6.50.

For unusual gift ideas, a selection of products ranging from mugs, mousemats and jigsaws are also available.

Promotions manager Viv Birch said: "This new service means that readers can see a photograph of themselves or their family or friends in the newspaper on one day, taken by one of our photographers.

"Next day they can visit our website and see the whole range of images taken at the time, choose which pictures appeal the most and order them online, too."

The system is really easy to use, too.
