Hill's Monument 1891
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was born in no 112 in 1940 and lived there until 1960. I have distinct memories of cattle market days when cattle being driven down to the market left unpleasant reminders all across the road. Remember too when the trees were cut down and the sewer was excavated along the old 'Potts' railway cutting. Remember Ann who lived almost opposite - a bit nearer town than Mill Road - born same day as me in September 1940. Other memories Fred Jones,the newsagent, Neville Hughes, the Bell Inn. I left Shrewsbury in 1965. James Carter (Tony).
