Rag 'n' Bone mon's 'oss in the frame

THIS photo shows staff and students of Wednesbury School of Photography in July, 1964, sent to us by Mike Tunnicliffe of Walsall, who writes... “ One student, Terry Pearce, paid the local rag and bone man to borrow his horse and cart. The Head of Department's office was emptied and the horse installed early in the morning. The look on the face of Jim Fraser, the Head, was unforgetable but he took it in good heart and was responsible for taking the photo.
