The beautiful county of Shropshire has seen many changes over the last decades, through the Victorian and Edwardian eras of growth to the effects of the Second World War. Bordered by both England and Wales and intersected by the River Severn, the county has always been fascinatingly diverse, from the county town of Shrewsbury, to the renowned food centre of Ludlow. Shropshire Then & Now captures the dramatic changes that have taken place across the county. Placing amazing archive images alongside beautiful modern photography and detailed captions, local historian David Trumper shows us just how much has changed in the county, giving anyone with an interest in Shropshire a fascinating insight into its development.
