HERE is another great selection of images from the past in our new nostalgia series in the Evesham and Cotswold Journals.
From teachers 'braving the shave' for an Evesham High School production to pigs having their ears sun-creamed to avoid being burnt in a heatwave; from a moment in time at a Pershore market to a solitary schoolchild waiting for a train on a railway platform in the 60s, there are some great images to look at.
