SHIFNAL AND DISTRICT

album of Sixteen photographic views of the Shropshire town of Shifnal and the neighbouring area

Published in Shifnal by W. D. Coleby

Undated but published circa 1900 this is a scarce early album of photographic views of the Shropshire town of Shifnal and the neighbouring area including Ryton, Evelith Manor, Ruckley Grange, Hatton Grange, Decker Hill House , The album measures 9.25 inches by 6.75 inches approx. and contains sixteen full page views.

The book features the inscription of its original owner

Alys A. Steele, Denmark Terrace, Shifnal.

Alys  A. Steele features a classic Edwardian-era variant spelling of "Alice". Genealogically, the Steele family was an established presence in the Shifnal District at the turn of the 20th century. Alys likely acquired this local photographic album directly from W.D. Coleby's local stationer shop as a souvenir or coffee-table keepsake shortly after its publication.
