In his new book Shropshire historian and author David Trumper has teamed up again with Ray Farlow, Shropshire postcard collector extraordinaire, for a feast of photographs that illustrate the bygone days of Whitchurch and Market Drayton. The smaller neighbouring town of Newport is also featured in this long-awaited volume, along with many of the surrounding villages. The combination of Davids encyclopaedic knowledge of the countys history and Rays superlative photographic collection ensures that this book will receive a well-deserved pride of place on many bookshelves in Shropshire.
