Hold it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture - a seasonal look at images in the Museum collection

If you're missing those nostalgic days of nothing more than a small picture behind each door on your Advent calendar, Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts take a stroll around the museum's collection of photographs and images: each with a fascinating story to tell.

Delving into the archives of our monthly feature The Camera Returns, our picturesque duo, explore some of their favourite images then and now - from group photographs in Hereford, Holland and beyond, to spigot mortars on King George V playing fields, long gone railway lines and poignant reunions.  

Despite failing to adequately locate the town of Rushden, once home to the Herefordshire Regiment pre-Gallipoli employment (its in Northamptonshire by the way), Andy and Paul delve into the value of the image in the work of the family, military and social historian - even through this very non-visual media of a podcast!  But then, we always knew they both had looks ideally suited for radio!

Check out our Camera Returns feature to see what Paul and Andy were seeing and look out for further fascinating updates.  

Look out too for a Christmas special taking our presenters back over a 100 years to test out a famous culinary delight!
