Hi Keith,
Yes Shrewsbury definately, it may have belonged to a Preece from near Bridgnorth, only going on the initials on the front of cab, it rings a bell as I sent DTR some photographs of that company but 800 odd pages is a too many to check! Cheer’s Pete

Hi Graham,
It is Lord Hills column and it is outside Shire Hall (council offices)in Shrewsbury,
Hi Pete, thanks for confirming that. As soon as I’d asked the question I realised it was Shrewsbury.

It is taller than Nelsons column according to google! When they build by-passes you soon forget some of the old roads, the Shrewsbury “ring road” is one i will not forget as I detested it! Cheer’s Pete
