EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to April 1963 in Staveley, Derbyshire. The image captures the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as 48 eager men rushed to apply for a coveted position with their town's happiest working team - the Dustmen. All vying for a chance to earn £11-a-week, these determined individuals hoped to join the elite group responsible for emptying an astounding 6,400 bins each week. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of applicants, officials at the Council Offices faced a daunting task: whittling down the names to a shortlist of just eight candidates. After careful consideration and deliberation, they finally selected one lucky man who would become part of this esteemed fifteen-man team. That fortunate individual was Ivan Hobson, a 41-year-old bachelor hailing from Bent-Lane in Staveley. With his dreams now realized, Ivan embarked on his journey as a dustman alongside his newfound comrades. Together, they formed an unstoppable force dedicated to keeping their town clean and tidy. This photograph not only immortalizes this significant moment in time but also serves as a testament to hard work and determination. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary jobs can bring immense joy and fulfillment when performed with passion and camaraderie.
