WE venture back in time to share some priceless pictures from Oswestry life over the years.

We begin with two pictures from Oswestry market in 1971.

The first was taken outside the Bailey Head and sees shoppers looking for a bargain while the second takes us to the Smithfield for a sheep auction.

Next we share a picture of Woodside School pupils enjoying a day out with their teacher at Oswestry market in 2007.

Finally we share a picture of Oswestry School Under 13s netball team from 2006. Recognise any familiar faces?
