Dig for victory! This photo was loaned by Mrs Bess Edwards, of Shifnal, whose parents Sam and Dorothy Harris lived at Sunnymede Farm, Nedge Hill, Stirchley, from 1936 until retirement in 1972.

It was taken in the garden towards the end of the war.

From left: Dorothy Harris; Edith Hewson, wife of Sid Hewson, who was an airman at Nedge Hill fixer station; her youngest daughter Carol, who is now Mrs Francis; older sister Pam, who became Mrs Pam Corbett; Sam Harris; and a chap who worked for him, John Rochelle.

The Hewsons were from Tooting and liked Shropshire so much that they stayed after the war.
