One photograph of a woman tending a firetitled 'Daily Herald campaign for old age pensioners'. Caption on back reads: 'Picture story featuring Mr. And Mrs. Bob Upcraft. Mrs. Upcraft stirring the fire. She has to be very careful because half a crown's worth of coal has to last them for warmth and cooking for a week. The fire must be kept on even in the summer since the rusty old range is their only means of cooking.'.
