is a copy of a newspaper photograph lent by Peter Stringer.

which has not been trimmed down by the newspaper. It was loaned by
Denis Bishop of Sharnbrook through his niece, Elaine Boness. Denis has
also identified some of the missing students names.
The windows look out onto the church and tithe barn. |

Souldrop not Felmersham
John Edwards of Harrold, formerly of Souldrop rang
to say that Figure 6.03. Felmersham United Football Club, c1953
is in fact the Souldrop football team! The footballer named as
Freddie Seanold is Freddie Seawold and was a former German
prisoner of war who stayed on in Souldrop after the war had finished.
John also played for Souldrop but is not in the photograph. |

shows the Grange before it was divided into two dwellings and is a
good view of the east end. |

Harvesting wheat
with a Binder,
c1953.
Unfortunately this
photograph from Colin Payne arrived too late to be included in the
book. It provides the missing link in the book between
a binder being drawn by horses (Figure 8.08 p103) and the first
combine harvester used in the parish (Figures 8.12 and 8.13 p104).
The photograph shows
from left to right George Band (holding the cutter blade), Peter
Cook (sitting on the binder) and Morris Lovell keeping an eye on a
young Colin Payne driving the Fordson Standard tractor. |
