7 really excellent memories this week,the photo of the kerry railway bridge and loco looks to have been taken in late victorian times when the kerry railway was part of the cambrian railways system prior to it all being taken over by the gwr. the junction for the kerry railway was at abermule on the cambrian main line.
the lorries lined up are nearly all bedfords, the one on the right is proving difficult to identify.

now to my favourite photo of the shopping scene in shrewsbury and that midland red bus. your older readers will recall that all midland red buses were registered in smethick, with an HA registration, so ha were the poldest buses, the petrol driven ones would backfire going down the wyle cop. later buses had other registration marks, aha, cha fha, hha etc. the bus in this photo was a gha reg. i remember gha 313 and 2 others cha 505 and cha 506. thanks for the memories.

This photograph is of my mother Mona Glover and myself, taken one day in 1947/48. It was taken for an advertising campaign for Road Safety, and was published under the heading ‘Kerb Drill Mummy!’
It is supposed to show the child stopping her mother from stepping off the kerb without looking, whilst the child is carefully looking left at the oncoming traffic.
We were chosen for the photograph because my mother knew the person who was organising the campaign, who needed a mother and child for his photo, and we fitted the bill.
Please can you tell me where I can obtain a copy of this photo?
Jennifer Richards nee Glover.
