The yard is now an industrial estate.
Roberts was a big company.Just like when swains were at church stretton,lloyds of ludlow and cadwallader.
Chuckie chicken of craven arms employed alot in their day,but sadly moved away then packed up.
My father in law was earning more working for them years ago,than he is now.
