Two unidentified girls from Madeley Modern School, which later became the Abraham Darby School, in class around the late 1940s or early 1950s. The photo comes from Mike Edwards, whose father-in-law Ted Roberts was the craft teacher at the school from the day it opened in the 1930s. In recent times the old school building has been demolished and superseded by the new Abraham Darby Academy.

Armed with a revolver and carrying a riot shield, Superintendent Bob Landers of Wellington Police embarks on a dangerous mission during what turned out to be the longest peacetime siege in British history. A gunman was holed up with hostages at The Slade, Weston-under-Redcastle, and Superintendent Landers was trying to distract him while an armoured Army vehicle approached from a different direction. But the gunman shot the radio aerial off the Army vehicle, which then retreated. The siege was to last 17 days during September and October 1968. The gunman was subsequently sent to Broadmoor.

There will be plenty of people who agree with the sentiments on the notice. But can anyone shed any light on who these folk are, which would in turn give a good idea where and when it was taken? We do know one of them – fourth from left is Joe Fletcher, of Ironbridge. He was born in 1910 so from his apparent age this was taken in the 1930s. The photo was loaned by his son, Peter.
