Description:These boys found a novel way of persuading people to “spare a penny for the guy” before bonfire night on 5 November 1950. The boy on the right presses a switch on the battery he is holding and the guy’s eyes flash an S.O.S.
They are standing on Malt Mill Lane in Stafford, by the Co-op butchers shop which stood on the corner of Salter Street and Malt Mill Lane.
