The Derby Telegraph recently published this photo of the Parwich Ladies Football team in 1960 (click to enlarge).
On the back row, from left: Christine Weston, Shirley Gibbs, Jean Calladine, Brenda Brownlee, Mary Edge, Hazel Calladine, Veronica Twigge.
On the front row: Maud Evans, Evelyn Chadwick, Carol Allen, Phyllis Allsop.
The “Little Sealed Packages” blog has also written about this photo. The blogger’s parents grew up in Parwich, and she has some further questions to ask about the photo. (Coincidentally, the Webster family are also mentioned, who have also been the subject of a recent query.)
Perhaps one of our readers would be able to reply to her?
Finally, from our own blog archives, we also have a poster advertising a ladies’ football match in 1938. Ladies’ football must have been a long-standing tradition in the village; could the tradition ever be revived?
