This week’s pictures from the past

There may be some older folk in Wellington who remember this Russian lady who appears to have been quite a character in the town about 60 years ago.
She is pictured here in Wellington on what seems to have been a rainy day around the late 1940s or early 1950s.
She was Tatiana Babushka, and presumably the parrot was her pet. This photo comes to us via historian Phil Fairclough, who has been researching the stories of people who came to Shropshire from Eastern Europe in the post-war period.
If you remember Tatiana, why not drop us a line?
