Episode Synopsis

While scrolling through social media, Alex stumbled upon some captivating content—side-by-side comparisons showing how Shrewsbury’s historic buildings once looked. Intrigued, he reached out to the creator behind the posts: Freya Rickman of Cooper Green Pooks, one of Shrewsbury’s oldest businesses.Freya’s passion for Shrewsbury—especially its rich history—is infectious, and the content she’s been producing lately truly deserves recognition.So, Alex invited Freya for a coffee and a chat at the Old Market Hall, right in the heart of town. And what better place to talk about history than a building that’s been standing since 1596?This conversation left Alex feeling genuinely inspired, especially by the energy and creativity of younger people engaging with local heritage in such meaningful, high-quality ways.A huge thank you to Cooper Green Pooks for lending us Freya, to the wonderful team at the Old Market Hall (especially Roberto) for being so welcoming, and of course to Freya—you're brilliant, keep doing what you do.Outro Music: What I Miss by Josh Lobley
