WELCOME to Tizer Bygones as we invite our beloved readers to join us on a trip through time and back to 1982.
More than four decades ago Oswestry was a very different place.
However thanks to these wonderful pictures from the past we can also appreciate many of the community events we still enjoy today were just as popular among our predecessors.
If you would like to share your pictures from the past email news@bordercountiesadvertizer.co.uk.
