Led by the processional cross and two acolytes, and the May Queen and her attendants, a May Procession makes its way down Priory Road. Keeping a watchful eye in the second picture is Mrs. Mary Morpeth(?), the then headmistress of St. Mary's School. The absence of the Presentation Sisters could date these pictures to 1953 or before, as does the total absence of any parked cars.
Thank you to Jean McIntosh for the loan of the pictures. |
