Pictures From The Archive – April 17

Welcome to this week's collection of nostalgia photos from the pages of the Shropshire Star.

Published Apr 17, 2020

We published this photo originally back on May 29, 1987, when it appeared with a story which began: “One of the world’s leading fashion and soft furnishing houses opened the doors of one of its two factories in Oswestry last week as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations. Laura Ashley’s Oswestry 1 factory on Glovers Meadow on Maesbury Road is one of only two in Britain to make soft furnishings which are sold throughout Britain and exported to the USA, Australia, and Japan.”
