My family were from Dawley. My gran was a Clift before she got married. She married a Davies from Horsehay. Loved looking at this video. Thank you bought tears to my eyes remembering my mum and myself going to Dawley every Saturday in the 70s. Wonderful days. Thank you.
That was amazing. My grandparents used to live in Atwood Terrace and I remember visiting them over the years. I rennet going to the pub with my Grandad, and visiting the Office Licence hatch in one of them. I think the bingo hall has long gone now. I also recall a park he took me to once where there was (memory is vague) a bric-à-brac shop (quite large). The Dawley accent; Good luck to non natives! Thank you so much
such a wonderful community then, but it seems each time Dawley councillors make changes its never for the better. We had a good Friday market every week that stretched from the captain Webb monument up to the elephant and castle, council messed with it and traders left, even 'free pitches' dont entice them back, only about 5 traders turn up now. Now they smother our once busy town with over 30 CCTV cameras making it look like something from Colditz. Beautiful video.
How lovely to look back at and reliase how lucky the people of this time had with so much greenery, l remember helping out a milk man who use to deliver to seculed houses down over grown lanes near Horsehay it seemed you were in a different time with ladies filling there jugs from the spring. The population of Telford don't know what beauty has been destroyed making this so called Town, but l thank you Dennis for bringing back lovely memories of the latter years and for the happy years l had working with you delivering milk.
My family, Tonks born and bred old park and Dawley many happy memories of the mounts round webb crescent. My dad ran a little bookies in chaple street , Giles and son. I don't know a soul in Dawley now sadly.
I loved it amazing. I dont live rhere now but go back now and then .Taylor's bike shop ♥️ happy days .my gran still lives there .brought tears to my eyes in a good way .thanks craigo
Funny- but every time I ever see a street or town scene from the 50’s or 60’s or even 70’s or 80’s, I always IMMEDIATELY think it seems far better and happier than today? I think I am right too. No matter what people say, those were better times than now.

What an amazing collection of photos, and lovely to here all those memories and information that can so easily be forgotten. Thank you so much.

I remember going to the Cosy to see The Devil Girl From Mars but don't remember that ornate facade, early 1950s.
Brilliant as always Dennis
i was a kid in late 60s remember most of that though i was very young
That was superb. Well done.
Nice bit of History
Was a lovelly safe place in its time
I used to live not to far from Dawley high street in the mid 80's and spent many a day dossing about with some old mates .
Brilliant
I have memories of Hare's? bread shop half way down the street on the left.
I remember Bill Taylor's Bike shop well, that's where I spent my pocket money.
whose the narrator great job
Its changed somewhat over the years
good video
the auto-voiceover is annoying
