Our
first visit out to a Wrekin Housing Trust group at George Chetwood Court in Dawley.
What a fabulous morning we had showing
the slideshow and hearing people’s memories inspired by the photos we showed. Thanks everyone.. you're stars!
…………………
I worked in a shop selling fruit and veg.
I lived at Sutton Maddock and I cycled to work it took me about ¾ of an hour. I
left school on a Friday and started work there on the Monday aged 14 and left
when I got married aged 23. During the war the Americans drove down the High
Sreet in their jeeps – it was the main road then.

‘I worked there as senior Assistant
Supervisor and then Assistant Manager. Caerphilly store was the first in this
country and then Telford was opened. We used to send girls out to check the
prices of items in other shops like Sainsburys.’
………………
‘The bus service was very good. From
Dawley you could get a bus anywhere. I used to go from Dawley to Wellington for
the market.’
