  • Join Third Rate content as we take a tour round this marches town in north west Shropshire.
    Oswestry grew from a small medieval market town with the arrival of the railway in the late 1800s. Although no railway station remains today much of the iron legacy lingers.
    Oswestry boasts fine examples of timber framed buildings and a medieval feel to the layout of the town centre.
    Today’s presentation is Third Rate contents first visit to this gem.

    I don't know how many pubs there are in Oswestry these days, but 30 years ago I worked out with my own eyeballs that if you stood in the doorway of a pub, you could see at least one other pub. For some reason I don't remember very much about that particular night 😉

      There are still a lot. And they looked pretty cheaply priced . Tho I didn’t go in any on this visit. 👍

    I didn't realize it is actually quite an attractive town. I always thought of it as a dreary little place bypassed by the A5. Thank you.

    you’ve not seen the sketchy streets where i spent most of my early childhood and the primary school that they crammed hundreds of children into and the teachers don’t give a shit about you you’ve seen the side of oswestry with all the shops and nicely painted for tourists like the park behind the old train station my 4 year old sister found a pile of who knows what at a park

    Help! Poor old Oswestry! It deserves better than this. A badly filmed, third-rate amateur view of the town. Could a professional give us a proper introduction to this fine old town? I was born and bred there so think I have the right to comment!

      It’s just that Oswestry deserves better than this! “Lewd” Mansion, for example. Help! Learn a bit of Welsh pronunciation before talking about this town, which has a god number of Welsh-speakers.
