All ready to go somewhere special. Image generously donated by Tony Portman via David Evans.
I am astounded and very happy to note that there are even more photos in the extraordinary treasury of images from Tony Portman – yesterday the young David Evans contacted me with another tranche of great photos from the Walsall Wood Boy’s Brigade which will show familiar faces to many, and also some familiar Walsall Wood locations.
I will split the photos into two sets, of which this is the first.
These have to bring back many memories for many readers – please feel free to comment and add yours, name the kids or give more detail.
Thanks so much to David and of course Tony Portman for such huge generosity – and sorry for my poor performance in recent weeks.
