The wife comes (‘dares’?) and asks, “What is happening now?” “My shoes are rocking/wallowing” (there’s no accurate translation for ‘vælte’) “Yes, but should it be worth making so much noise?” “Yes, I still have my feet in them!” One of those jokes which are lost in translation, I feel!

BYGONE BOSWORTH Images from the Historical Society’s Archive Collection

Many of us will have walked past this part of the Bosworth village street scene dozens of times, but few will have recognised its significance. The pole is in Bell Lane, almost opposite Green Lane, and the corroded tin banding is the significant feature. During the early part of the Second World War the threat of night-time raids by the Luftwaffe meant that blackout regulations were rigidly enforced. All street lighting was switched off at the start of the war in September 1939 and motor vehicles were only allowed to show suitably deflected white lights forward and a red tail light to the rear. Accidents, especially pedestrians killed by motor traffic, soared. To aid motor traffic and pedestrians, obstacles on the roadside, such as poles, roadsigns, car bumpers, kerbs and even trees, were painted with white markings so that they were more visible in the dark. Wartime photos of Bosworth show a number of poles and roadsigns around the village marked with these stripes - this one in Bell Lane is the only one left. This would suggest that this venerable telegraph pole is at least 75 years old!
