Old Postcard of The Parade (2), Grindleford
Parade, with Brass Band accompaniment, captured on film whilst on its way up the hill towards the Maynard Arms. There is another photograph showing The Parade going past the Maynard, taken from the other side of the road. The occasion is the Club Feast of the Grindleford District Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherd's Friendly Society, on Tuesday 17th August 1920. They assembled at 10am at the Commercial Hotel where the procession was formed to proceed to the Church for Divine Service at 11am. After church the members paraded to Padley "in processional order accompanied by Grindleford Band" (as shown in the photographs). They then returned “for dinner in the schoolroom at 2pm at a charge of 4/- per head.” - that's £0.20 (20p), rather a lot of money in those days!) A dance was held in the evening at 8pm for which a reasonable charge was made. The Secretary was J.H.C. Bannerman. (Information kindly supplied by Alan Jacques - a record was kept of the event in an Old Scrapbook belonging to by an elderly village resident) (Commentary provided by Rosemary Lockie) This is one of several old photographs acquired after a sort-out at the Peak National Park Authority's Study Centre. |
