The date stamp on the back of this photo from our files is October 28, 1981. Also written on it is "Mall 3" so it must be Mall 3 at Telford shopping centre, which would have been gearing itself up for a royal visit - the second phase of Telford shopping centre was opened a few days later by the Queen on November 13.
With Telford celebrating its 40th birthday, we want to hear YOUR thoughts, views, and memories about the town for potential inclusion in a 40th anniversary supplement we are preparing.
