EDITORS COMMENTS
This heartwarming photo captures the joy and camaraderie shared by three postwomen in the idyllic village of Ightham, Kent. Mrs Elizabeth Poile, Mrs Annie Puttock, and Mrs Emily Cheale radiate happiness as they laugh together during a well-deserved break from their duties. With a combined service of 57 years, these remarkable women have dedicated themselves to serving their community with unwavering commitment and diligence. From left to right, we see Mrs Elizabeth Poile at 52 years old, followed by the ever-smiling Mrs Annie Puttock at 63 years old. Lastly, we have Mrs Emily Cheale who proudly boasts an impressive 28-year tenure as a postwoman. Taken on the sunny day of May 8th in 1961, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of hard work and friendship that permeates through every corner of Ightham village. The bags slung over their shoulders symbolize not only their dedication to delivering mail but also their connection to each household they serve. In this snapshot from the swinging sixties era, these three inspiring women stand as shining examples for future generations of female workers. Their contribution to both the postal service and their tight-knit community is immeasurable. This timeless image was captured by renowned photographer John Topham and serves as a beautiful tribute to these unsung heroes who play an integral role in keeping our villages connected.
