Help plea over photographs

Cinefilm and up to 3,000 rare black and white pictures which sat on the shelf of a Madeley shop for 50 years have been saved for posterity - now can you help to catalogue them?

A team of local historians want the help of the public in identifying people and occasions depicted in the photographs, which were taken in Madeley and the surrounding area from the early 1900s.

Local historians Alan Heighway, from St Georges, and Pete Wilson, from Madeley, with the help of Shelagh Lewis from the Madeley Living History Project, were successful in obtaining a lottery grant for £10,000 to save between 2,500 and 3,000 black and white negatives and cine film.
