Local author and historian, David Trumper, took residents of Isle Court nursing home, Bicton, back in time giving a talk on the history of Shrewsbury, illustrated by a selection of images he has collected over 40 years.
Mr Trumper, author of more than 20 pictorial books on Shrewsbury and the surrounding county, visited the nursing home to give colour and life to the dramatic history and development of one of the UK’s most splendid market towns.
Residents saw a presentation of photographs and images of Shrewsbury from books such as ‘Shrewsbury: Then and Now’ and ‘Shrewsbury in the Past’ and following the talk had the opportunity to explore Mr Trumpers’ vast knowledge of the county town with questions over tea and cakes.
Isle Court resident Vera Wright said: “I am very interested in Shropshire’s past and especially Shrewsbury as it is such an old town. Mr Trumpers’ talk was fascinating and the pictures certainly brought history to life!”
Morris Care owns and runs six nursing homes in the Shropshire and Cheshire area. Each home has a dedicated social life coordinator to organise activities for the residents including exercise classes, visits by local performers, restaurant evenings and day trips.
