"Ranee", Dudley Zoo's six-year-old elephant

"Ranee", Dudley Zoo's six-year-old elephant, is just broken in to her new type of expanding barness. The barness allows for any variation in size of her stomach and back, apart from carrying six people on top. It took some time for the keepers to get her used to the idea and pictures show them with "Ranee" introducing her to new contraption. The keeper, who has just fallen into a sitting position on ground, is head keeper Harry Hatch; he overbalanced when adjusting the straps. October 1951 P011836

It's such fun of be the flower of Britain. They'

It's such fun of be the flower of Britain. They're a bit young to bother their happy little heads about citizenship; nevertheless youngsters like these are the flower of Britian's future - and, like other flowers, there's nothing they enjoy more than being "Watered". The old war-damaged bath was taken to the Woodchurch Day Nursery, Hampstead, London, by Mr. Desmond Scriven, whose son attends the nursery. The children love it, and queue up to climb in when nurse Phyllis gets busy with the hose. July 1949 P012128
