Description: | People wheeling away wooden shell cases from A. J. Hickman's after the Second World War (1939-1945). Thousands of these boxes had been bought by the firm from ammunition dumps all over the country to use as electrical switch housings. Large quantities, piled up to thirty feet high in Hickman's yard, were surplus to requirements, and the company found the simplest way to dispose of them was to invite local people to take as many as they needed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Dudley Archives | Rights holder: | Mr. H.
