Description: | Elsie davis balances a friend on her shoulders as she walks across a wire stretched between the telegraph poles.Acrobatic dancing, for which she has gained certificates, was too tame for Elsie Davis, aged fourteen, as she now walks a tight rope 50 feet high, stretched between two telegraph poles and without a safety net underneath.Elsie lived in Maltby and for two years she had practised walking on wires stretched at various heights across the garden.She practices with her brother Harold, aged 20, and friend Percy Booth.Both young men work underground at a colliery.They have not enough money to buy proper apparatus and they practice many daring feats on the wires . | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
