The Jake Whitehouse collection

There is now a dedicated website for the Jake Whitehouse collection of First World War photographs and postcards relating to mid Staffordshire. The tight focus is the First World War and the area around the military camps on Cannock Chase, the camps themselves, and places the soldiers might have visited such as Rugeley, Alton and Stafford.

There are about a dozen pictures of the Haywood villages and a couple of Shugborough, but Tolkien scholars will be most interested in the wealth of camp pictures.
