    Very Good . I always thought it was a boring place to grow up. But it has a fascinating history. Of which we re all part. My great great great grandfather came to oswestry from Whixall . To sell cabbages at the market. His Son Charlie Cotton became the proprietor of the fruit and veg shop next door to the wynnstay hotel. Later to become Wilson's first run by my great uncle George and then by my Uncle Bill and his wife Rachel ,and its still called Wilson's today even though its now a wine bar annex to the hotel. My Grandad would walk us up town on a saturday to the market and he knew everybody,,,it took forever. Its not the same now,,,,but its still oswestry.

    I used to live a literal stones throw away from the old castle. I wonder what once stood where my old house now stands. It must have been part of the castle grounds. I wish time travel was possible, how fascinating.
