Students are also working with Oswestry Town Museum to create a lasting exhibition.

The Marches School wants people in and around Oswestry to share their experiences in the online project. And it is working with the town s museum to produce a special exhibition area and Oswestry town council is also getting involved.
In its newly launched website, lockdown-diaries.co.uk/ those behind the project say that 2020 marked a key point in history.
Head boy, James Lowton, said: For the first time in living memory everything stopped, and families were told to stay in their homes. Normal routines of attending school, meeting people, visiting shops, hugging friends and family couldn’t happen, shops, restaurants, care homes, places of worship – all have had to alter the way they operate.
