This tiny imprint was made in the concrete slab of country shed in 1954 and captured imaginations in a small NSW town.
In the back of a shed in a New South Wales country town sits a concrete slab marked with a small child's handprint left decades ago.A woman found a child's handprint dated 1954 on the floor of a shed on her Wingham propertyEventually it was discovered that the print was likely left by a two-year-old boy, Ian Redman, when his dad built the shed in 1954
The owner of the shed, Margie Brown, came upon the little print during a recent clean-up and it stoked her curiosity. "We were cleaning out the shed and I just happened to move a few things around and said, 'Oh look, there's a handprint'," she said.Ms Brown is an aerobics instructor with a lot more time on her hands since COVID-19 gym closures.
She said that having been inspired by the BBC series Restoration Home, which features the history of old properties, she decided the source of the handprint was worth investigating. "I took a photo of the handprint and sent it to my friend, Janine, because she is a super sleuth," Ms Brown said.
