Around Oswestry by David Trumper
Oswestry is an ancient market town, just to the west of Shrewsbury and close to the Welsh border. Not much has happened here since the Battle of Maserfield in 642, which is perhaps why the town is so popular among discerning tourists and those in search of a quiet life. For his new book, David Trumper has teamed up with Ray Farlow, Shropshire postcard collector extraordinaire, for a feast of photographs that illustrate bygone days in Oswestry and the surrounding villages. Featured here are numerous scenic images of Oswestry's centre, its streets and buildings, photographs of locals at work and play, pubs, people and the stunning countryside around and about. It is sure to appeal to all those who know and love the town.
DAVID TRUMPER was born in Shrewsbury and grew up in the town. He taught at several schools in Shropshire before his retirement in 2000. He has always had an interest in local history and photography, and has collected over 20,000 views of Shrewsbury and Shropshire, dating from 1842 up until the present day. He has had twenty-two books published, as well as his work for local papers and magazines. David is well known in Shropshire’s historical circles, leading talks and historical walks in the area throughout the year. He has been married to his wife Wendy for over forty years, and has a daughter and two grandchildren.
