Overdue library book returned to Shrewsbury after 50 years

Available for over a year

A book has been returned to a library in Shropshire more than 50 years after it was borrowed. Shrewsbury library assistant Marina Rees was given the book - taken out in 1969 - by a man on Monday. The hardback, titled "One-family housing: Solutions to an urban dilemma", would have cost about £20 in the 1960s.
