A Year in Shropshire

Two of Shropshire’s finest photographers, father and son Mike and John Hayward, have collaborated to showcase the county they love in over 160 stunning images. Here is Shropshire at its glorious best: - Ironbridge under a dusting of snow - Wild ponies on the Long Mynd - Bridgnorth’s high rock in autumn colours - The beech walk on The Wrekin - The ancient holly grove on The Stiperstones - Christmas carols in the square at Much Wenlock Moving from spring to winter, covering every corner of Shropshire, from tiny hamlets to our proud towns and monuments, this collection is a breath-taking tribute to this diverse, unspoilt and often overlooked part of England. The photographers have captured the unusual shots which offer a new slant on our familiar and much-loved sights. AUTHORS: Mike is a former newspaper photographer who, in addition to his famous landscapes, has an extensive archive of classic British motor sport images. John studied media production at university and still works with creative video, although he prefers to concentrate on still photography. His work is used extensively by national and international picture agencies. colour photographs throughout
