PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: Back-to-back with ice creams in hand, actress Gayle Hunnicutt and veteran actor Rupert Davies take five during a light-hearted June 1975 photocall. The occasion marked Hunnicutt’s British Shakespearean debut playing Olivia in the Ludlow Festival’s staging of Twelfth Night, set against the historic open-air backdrop of Ludlow Castle. placeholder image

PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: A brand-new, £15,000 Ford Mondeo estate dangles precariously 15 feet in the air, wedged tightly between a car transporter and a box lorry following a collision on the M5 motorway in July 1997. The ill-fated vehicle became one of Britain's very first "R" registration road casualties weeks before the official August rollout—having suffered extensive damage without ever rolling a single tyre onto the tarmac. Emergency recovery crews were faced with a complex logistical headache, cordoning off the carriageway to carefully winch down the airborne estate without causing further wreckage to the vehicles below.placeholder image
