Pageant - The Ancient Parish of Croston May 1951, and Coffee Day Processions

Lancashire local history - Croston community celebrations, and floral floats on Coffee Day.

The story of the ancient Lancashire parish of Croston is celebrated here as local people enact historical scenes, with young and old - and the occasional horse - cheerfully taking part. As well as this pageant, staged to coincide with the 1951 Festival of Britain, we see footage from several 'Coffee Days', the curious name for the Procession of Witness around the village with floral floats.
