More about this scene

The scaffolding visible in B233057 (page 78) has been replaced by this 1960s box, hardly a worthy successor to Appleby's Corner. It is hard to imagine a more incongruous pairing than these two, both of which are now occupied by solicitors. The fine house in the background survives unspoilt today, and is also used as solicitors' offices.

I trained to teach at Shenstone new College 1971-1975 (inc B.ED) I loved it. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers times with me at the college and find out what they are doing now
Next to Wise's was Mrs Simmonds toy shop, then a drapers, then my Aunts' Fish & Chip shop - Plante's. Further on was a greengrocers, then my favourite shop, Smith's cake shop!
I left in 1956 and my name was Tyers !!
MY grandad and grandma used to run The George. They were Reg and Edith Astley. I was brought up there with my mum and dad, Pat and Sheila. Mum was a barmaid there with my Aunty Eunice.
