Dawley Angling Society on a day out fishing at Stirchley pools - early 1950s.If you’re from Dawley and of a certain age, you might recognise one or two of these people.

This is Dawley Angling Society on a day out fishing at Stirchley pools.

Peter Wyatt, who loaned us the picture, thinks it would have been a fishing competition in the early 1950s.

Mr Wyatt, from Sutton Heights, says that front centre, just to the right of the man in a dark jacket, with a long white collar, is Charlie Jaundrell, who used to have a butcher’s shop in Dawley High Street.

Next to him (below the man in the flat cap) is Peter’s uncle Percy Jones. Noah Ball, who also had a shop in the High Street, is fourth from right, first row up.
