Shrewsbury firefighters - 1950s

Our regular contributor, Shrewsbury author and historian David Trumper, has a special personal interest in this picture of firefighters from yesteryear – his father is among them.

This is the Shrewsbury firefighters team which won a cup for breathing apparatus drill. The location may be the West Mid Showground, Shrewsbury, and the date is 1950s.

Back, from left, two unknowns, Les Rowe, Walter Sherratt, and Dennis Trumper. Front, unknown, and “Taffy” Evans.
