Pictures From The Past - November 17

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

Published Nov 17, 2017

Shropshire rightly has an image of being a rural landscape, but in times past significant parts of that rural landscape were industrialised. This picture shows "Minsterley railway station and steam saw mills." The postcard, from the collection of Ray Farlow, was produced by Park of Newtown, and although it is undated it is likely to be from Edwardian days when Park was particularly prolific.
