WELCOME to Bygones as we once again transport readers back to the days of yesteryear.

This week we head back as far as the war and post war years with the country still recovering from the ravages of World War Two.

Llanfyllin Carnival was held in 1941 and young girls danced around the Maypole but meat rationing remained in place until 1954 when Oswestry butcher Harry Morris was finally able to sell his customers more.

Kinnerley Sunday School performed a play in 1949 while Gobowen Old Folks held a New Year tea party in 1955.

Do recognise any familiar faces?
