The county town of Shropshire underwent great changes in the
twenty-five years between 1950 and 1975, when the council's
watchword was 'down with the old and up with the new'. This book
contains over 180 images of Shrewsbury from that time, from the
transformation of the town centre to the demolition of the slum
dwellings in the 1960s, when whole communities were uprooted. With
stunning images from a local press photographer, fine aerial shots
taken by a local land agent and material from an avid collector of
Shrewsbury ephemera, it offers a unique look at the town as it
developed and modernised after the Second World War, and a
fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of its residents.
