It was a day off for many in Ludlow and Shropshire. All schools in our town were closed, along with a few shops. The market began a five day shutdown. Many people were forced to begin a long weekend. Train spotters had a dismal day. Not a train in sight. But Minsterley kept a basic town bus service running. Thanks guys! But, hey! It was a day for the kids. A great day for the kids.
