Pictures From The Archive – August 21

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

Published Aug 21, 2020

Back in the winter of 1965 Mrs Agnes Ford and her 19-year-old daughter-in-law Christine were delivering hot food to pensioners in Oakengates, Ketley Bank, Trench, and Hadley. The pair were members of the Oakengates Women's Voluntary Service meals on wheels service. Here a grateful 86-year-old Sam Bolas – we think he lived in Ketley Bank – receives his delivery from Mrs Ford. This picture was first published on March 5, 1965.
