Winter is coming ... but no snow yet, just wind and rain. The scene above was probably taken in the late 1940s. Woolly balaclavas seem to have gone out of fashion these days - as have lurcher dogs, once prized in the village for their hunting talent. Collies are still common in Yetholm, but there are few lurchers today (and not that many rabbits at the moment). The photo was sent to us to add to our archives by Sue Wood (Paveley), whose family lived the village between the wars. YHS is actively collecting images so if you have anything that may be of interest then please get in touch - we can scan images and return them to you.
Another image which Sue sent can be seen below. A reminder that Summer days will return one day too! A cricket match is taking place on the playing field in Town Yetholm. Of particular interest is the corrugated iron building at the far side of the pitch. As with the snow-scene, this image was probably taken circa 1947 and the buildings are a reminder of the recently concluded war. Early in the war a search-light was positioned on the playing field and later the area was turned into a small prisoner of war camp for German prisoners, who worked on local farms. This is the only image we have of this building, which must have been dismantled soon afterwards and it illustrates how valuable 'family snaps' shared with us can be in preserving memory of Yetholm's history.
