Star’s front row seat for sporting history
- Local newspaper week
This week’s pictures from the past
Friday 27th February 2009, 7:59AM GMT.
Today we carry a rare picture of the old EVW camp which stood near the Blessed Robert Johnson School in Wellington.
In the post-war period it was home to hundreds of European Voluntary Workers.
Here’s another one, from the same source – the wife of one of the workers, who himself came from the Crimea. Effectively stateless, many of those in these camps opted to stay in Shropshire. This photo dates from between 1947 and 1951.
