Oswestry Through Time
Description:... The ancient Shropshire market town of Oswestry, just to the west of Shrewsbury and close to the Welsh border, has not changed a great deal since the Battle of Maserfield in 642, which is perhaps why the town is so popular among discerning tourists and those in search of a quiet life. In this unique and fascinating series of new and old photographs, local author and historian David Trumper explores how the town and the surrounding villages have changed over the years, as well as highlighting how much has stayed the same. Featured here are many beautiful images of Oswestry’s centre, its streets and buildings, local people at work and play, and the stunning countryside around the town, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Oswestry.
