Archdiocese of Birmingham.
Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Bicester, Oxfordshire.
Unknown Procession.
Possibly 1950s.
An unknown procession possibly from the 1950s. The inscription on the reverse of the picture gives no clue as to the occasion and why the procession took place. It is moving down Priory Road towards the old Catholic Church so it must therefore date to before 1963 but other than that there are no clues. The reason why there are no women in the picture is that at that time it was customary for the men and the women would walk separately in the procession.
Thank you to Angie Nelson for the loan of the photograph.
