Boys of the Newtown Scout troop collecting waste paper

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

• Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:

  Children often helped out with the salvage effort. In November 1939 these members of the 1st Newtown Scout troop used a horse and cart to collect waste paper from around the town.

• Tightfisted Home said:

  I like how the smallest and youngest is left to hold the horse. Looking at this, it appears to have been photographed on High Street, outside The Buck Inn and Boots, facing the Market Hall.

• Kay said:

  What grabs my attention the most is the impish little lad in the front, with his stance, hand on the stack on the cart, and that sweet little look on his face. Priceless! This is a wonderful photograph.

Wombles Annual 1975

from Museum of Hartlepool

• ClickKen04 said:

  Mike Batt was an excellent musician and did a lot for the Wombles, catchy tunes and caught the public imagination. I think (personally) Mike Batt should have remained from the public attention because he was completely different to what we imagined him to be!
