MEMORY LANE
1960's treasured memories, when Salmon abounded.
Best tally Friday to Sunday night saw 128 Salmon landed,
with rods on even or odd days due the number of rods.
Golden olden days, when the gutter carried the mainstream and life seemed easier
A days fishing............
'Watty' and a good bunch of mates pose for the LMS team photo.

Another nostalgic photo, 'Watty' with Ted and Cyril Biddulph,
And Ex President of the S.A.F Jim Grocott
This photo dates from the mid 1960's and was taken in Barker Street, Shrewsbury after
the Shropshire Individual Angling Championships .
Vic Jones with a fine Salmon.

This smart young chap is our very own Roger Carswell.

Well done!
Fantastic shot of a few young chaps at the gutter on Sydney Avenue (one of which happens to be current Shrewsbury Town FC chairman, Roland Wycherley.
