Gateway to the world

Zaroob was three years old when I spotted him peering through the gate of 92 Cromwell Road, in Peterbor- ough. I found him by a million to one coincidence when I attended a 999 call in a nearby clothes shop where a woman had fallen.

Afterwards I asked her husband if he recognised the little boy in the photo and he said he lived round the corner.

As he pointed out of the window Zaroob just happened to turn the corner!
