EARLY PHOTOS OF JOHN SHAWCROSS AND PARROT AT CRICH sent by Bob Lennox (Docherty)

I had an email from Bob in response to the parrot photos taken at John's funeral wake I placed on the blog. The first photo was taken in 1970, and shows John and Ian Musgrove taking Richard Clark for his first tram driving lesson on Rack 2. The site looks like a moonscape, with all the white dust from the quarry crusher covering everything.

The second was taken with Bob's  Galah, Rosie, during a visit by some Portuguese friends in 1995. 
Here is a short video of Bob with his Severe Macaw, Carmen, which he unfortunately had to leave in Portugal when he returned to the UK
