SHREWSBURY's PASSAGES OF TIME

By Bernard Jones

I?m a Yorkshire lad born and bred but have moved around the country with my work. My first job was with Barclays Bank. I served my National Service in Aden with The Prince of Wales? Own Regiment of Yorkshire. I met my future wife, Barbara in Dover and later, married and moved around the country then finally settled in Shropshire in a village near Shrewsbury. By then I had left the Bank and eventually took a job with the MoD which I held until my retirement. Since then I have written bird walk articles for the Bird Watching magazine. In addition, while working in Surrey, I learned to fly in a Tiger Moth at the famous Biggin Hill. Later when we moved to Shropshire I took up gliding at the Midland Gliding Club based on the Long Mynd. Sadly, Barbara died and I put together a book of her ?Quirky Tales? that she had written for the local newsletter and all the money made from the sales went to the MS Society.
