Oxford Street, Oakengates, looking South towards the railway station. Little change to the buildings since 1965 but it is noticeable that the vehicles stayed on the road and not all over the pavements. Of course at that time police officers were often on patrol on foot, unlike to-day. Compare with Frith's photo from 1965. http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/shropshire/oakengates/photos/oakengates_O1041.htm Another view looking North here.Image
