This week’s nostalgia pictures
Friday 25th September 2009, 9:44AM BST.
Here we see harvesting or bringing in hay in Shelve, perhaps in the 1930s or during the war years, in a photo loaned by Mrs Freda Elkes, of Ketley. Her father Clive Oliver kept the More Arms, Shelve, but also had 43 acres around the pub. She thinks one of those on the picture, probably the person on the right, is a chap they used to call ‘Corporal’, which was a nickname. She does not know how he acquired it. The other person is unidentified.
