Otto's
Photos:
Page One
These pages show a selection
of photographs taken by Otto, an ex-prisoner of war, when he returned
to the UK in 1951 to see the Festival of Britain and to visit Aston Pigott
Farm. Looking at the photographs today, the quality of them is far superior
to the small, square photos that were the standard photos that the Roberts
family had at the time. They form a beautiful snapshot of the life of
the farm in post-War Shropshire. Sadly, though, he does not seem to have
taken any photos of Janet Roberts as part of this collection.
